As I suggested last night, people at VISG are smart enough to know that they don't go this alone. They have been very conservative in structure, planning and even hype. That's why they've survived to play today.
Viisage Technology and RAPOR, Inc. to Demonstrate Integrated Biometric
Access Control Systems for Airports/Office Buildings At ASIS Security Conference
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sep 28, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
ASIS, Booth 1036
At ASIS, Oct. 1-4 in San Antonio, TX, Viisage Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: VISG),
the leader in face-recognition technology and identification systems and
solutions, and RAPOR, Inc. of New Britain, CT, the leading developer and
provider of integrated security portal systems, will collectively announce new
highly secure, sophisticated portal access systems for airports, commercial
offices, schools, government facilities, courthouses, and manufacturing plants.
RAPOR'S systems have recently received FAA approval. Installations currently
exist with IBM and the U.S. Army securing critical points of entry.
RAPOR has integrated Viisage's face-recognition FacePASS(TM) system with RAPOR's
highly innovative Fast Trac(TM) portal system, marking the first time a
validated portal system will be triggered by an equally validated face
recognition system.
RAPOR's systems combine components, such as metal detectors, access control
devices, monitoring systems and sensors to provide secure, rapid and
sophisticated portal access. The combination of Viisage's FacePASS
face-recognition technology with Fast Trac conveniently and non-intrusively
increases security levels while maintaining throughput speed. RAPOR's Fast Trac
has a unique patented ability to rapidly manage high-traffic flow levels while
virtually eliminating "tailgating," or dual entry, the primary weakness of most
revolving door access control systems.

With headquarters in New Britain, CT, RAPOR, Inc. is a developer, manufacturer
and distributor of integrated security systems for controlling access to
restricted areas. RAPOR's systems are based on the unique, patented RAPOR (Rapid
Access Portal) Fast Trac concept.
