  NEW YORK, NY, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
IDO Security, Inc. (OTCBB: IDOI) (www.idosecurityinc.com), developer of
the innovative MagShoe(TM) "shoes-on" weapons metal detection system,
today announced an order of nearly two dozen MagShoe devices, placed with
a major security products distribution specialist based in Vietnam. The
systems will be shipped to major airports across the region, as part of
an initiative to increase travel safety measures. A patented security
screening device for the lower body, MagShoe instantly and accurately
detects weapons and metal items concealed in footwear -- without
requiring the removal of shoes. This increases convenience while
enhancing security readings and providing faster, more accurate results.

    Magshoe is the missing link in today's high-security environments, filling
the void left by traditional handheld and walkthrough security systems,
which do not extend to the lower body. The agreement marks a powerful
entry for IDO Security into the Vietnamese security market, and expands
the presence of MagShoe at venues throughout Southeast Asia. The
"shoes-on" weapon detection system is currently used in airports,
government agencies, sports arenas, cruise ships and more worldwide.
Other installations in the Asian market include India, China and Hong
Kong.

    "Safety continues to be top-of-mind for the global travel industry,
especially for the airports in Vietnam and around the world who seek to
provide millions of travelers with the highest levels of security," said
Dan Werber, International Marketing Manager of IDO Security. "We are proud
to have the opportunity to partner with one of the region's top
distributors of security products to make MagShoe available throughout the
region."
