IDNX Identix Live Scan Systems Adopted by Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Cent /FROM PR NEWSWIRE LOS ANGELES 213-626-5500/ TO BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY EDITORS: Identix Live Scan Systems Adopted by Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers to Help Speed Employee Background Checks Identix Opens New Healthcare Market for Its Live Scan Systems LOS GATOS, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq: IDNX), a worldwide leader in providing fingerprint biometric authentication, security, and identification solutions, announced today that it has extended the reach of its Live Scan systems for applicant screening into a new healthcare market. The Company has received orders for its Identix Live Scan TouchPrint(TM) 2000 Applicant Fingerprint Systems (TP 2000 AFS) from six Veterans Administration Medical Centers to facilitate the processing of background checks of potential employees. Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital employees are Federal government employees and are required to undergo a background check prior to employment. Five Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in the New York area -- Bronx, Hudson Valley, NY Harbor/Brooklyn, Northport, Long Island and East Orange/Lyons NJ -- and the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Portland, will each receive one TP 2000 AFS. Installation of all of the systems is expected to take place by the end of June 2002. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs operates approximately 171 medical centers and 500 Community Based Outpatient Clinics across the nation. The TP 2000 AFS supports direct connections to state and Federal Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) networks to permit rapid screening of job applicants to help prevent the hiring of personnel with past criminal records for industries such as airports, school systems, banking/financial and securities firms and segments of the healthcare field. Identix Live Scan systems can speed the processing of applicant background checks to days versus the several weeks traditional ink and paper methods require. Identix Executive Vice President Worldwide Sales Valerie Lyons commented, "We are very pleased to continue to see new applicant markets open across the Nation for our Live Scan systems. We believe our Live Scan systems can play a critical role in assisting employers across all industries receive timely feedback on the backgrounds of job applicants. We will continue working toward expanding the reach of our technology further into the healthcare industry, as well as more fully into the general commercial markets."

Hi Connor: I appreciate your post quoting INTC's CEO, I really do. But I must report that I'd rather be directly in the path of a massive tornado than read anything by any CEO, CFO, COO, economist, Maria, Tom, Larry Kudlow, Joe-the-Perpetual-Bull Battipaglia, (say where is 'ole Joe?) any analyst with their upgrades/downgrades/sidegrades and "targets." I will listen to anything said or sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Doc Kronkite, my trading partner Dortmunder and my dog, Capt. Tomato.
