interview with young expert on security technology on CNBC
real sharp guy on Tuesday morning
he is from a security institute with national scope

I should have brought it to the thread yday, but busy
he had alarming data on security tech sales generally
he referred to airport security software and hardware,
to retinal scan devices, to thumbprint devices,
to computer firewall protection software, and more

he said sales were down 30% yr/yr in recent months
he said there is a security tech sale deep slowdown in progress

outside airport security, it is full scale pullbacks
budgets are in trouble with slashing cutting reductions

anyone who thinks security systems will be spearheading any sales initiatives on a wider scale could NOT be more mistaken
he concluded that the profit picture, economic trends dictate the security spending, NOT the heightened security alert from terrorism

it is all about the economy and profit picture
