Initial contract to sterilize mail goes to TTN as I expected. Also all the unopened mail to DC offices was trucked up to TTN/ Surebeam facility in Lima Ohio to get sterilized before return and delivery. I booked my 40% gain in three days on Thursday on small trade.

Titan to Provide Mail Sanitizers to U.S.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - The Titan Corp. (NYSE:TTN - news), a technology provider to the U.S. military, announced on Friday that the U.S. Postal Service has selected it to provide up to 20 electron beam systems and services to sanitize mail and eliminate the threat of anthrax contamination.

San Diego-based Titan said it will subcontract with its subsidiary SureBeam (Nasdaq:SURE - news) to provide the proprietary electron beam systems, which uses electron beam and X-ray technology to destroy harmful bacteria.

The Postal Service will purchase eight systems for about $40 million, with an option to buy 12 more, Titan said in a statement. In addition to providing the equipment, the company said it will operate and maintain the systems.

Titan said it expects the first systems to be received by the Postal Service in the Washington, D.C. area in November. The Postal Service has also contracted to use a Titan facility to sanitize mail, using electron beam technology.

For the past eight years, Titan has used SureBeam electron beam technology to sterilize medical products, and for the last 18 months the technology has been used by SureBeam to eliminate dangerous bacteria in food.
