Congressional investigators find flaws in port security From Justine Redman CNN Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two government programs designed to prevent terrorists from smuggling weapons of mass destruction into the United States are under-performing, leaving the nation's ports vulnerable, congressional investigators said Wednesday.
In early 2002, the Department of Homeland Security initiated programs intended to improve the screening of shipment containers at their foreign ports of origin and on arrival in the United States.
But government investigators found that at the overseas ports participating in one initiative, only 17.5 percent of containers deemed "high-risk" by the United States were inspected -- far from the stated goal of 100 percent.
A separate Department of Homeland Security program allows import/export companies to minimize time lost to the security screening process by providing a fast-track for approved traders.
However, according to investigators, only 11 percent of those traders approved by the United States have been vetted.
The findings were issued by the Senate subcommittee on investigations and in two reports released Wednesday by the Government Accountability Office.
"Ensuring the security of our global supply chain is critical to homeland security since maritime trade accounts for over 25 percent of the U.S. GDP (gross domestic product) and many experts believe that terrorists are likely to exploit the inherent vulnerabilities of the global supply chain for their nefarious purposes," Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minnesota, said in a written statement.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert Bonner rebuffed criticism, telling CNN, "The reality is these are major companies we have dealt with for years .... We got tremendous security benefits by essentially embracing the private sector in what is the largest and most successful government-private sector partnership to form after 9-11."
The Senate investigations subcommittee has scheduled a hearing Thursday to examine the cargo security programs, known as the Container Security Initiative and the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. Bonner is scheduled to testify.
Among the recommendations made by the GAO are that Homeland Security officials should improve staffing and establish standards for the technology used in inspecting containers by U.S. officials and by inspectors in international ports.

Local company aims to keep ports, children safe with new GPS device
By Dale Neal, STAFF WRITER
SKYLAND — A device developed for homeland security may help keep the members of your household safer as well.
An Asheville-based company has created a new global positioning system device that could help guard sensitive seaports and military bases, or closer to home, track your child on a school bus or monitor your teenager driving the family car.
This fall, Homeland Integrated Security Systems will roll out a retail version of its Cyber Tracker, priced about $500. “If my daughter is driving in South Asheville, it will call my cell phone or send me an e-mail alert. If she’s speeding or leaving South Asheville,” said Frank Moody, CEO of the company quietly headquartered in Biltmore Park.
Most GPS devices can bounce a signal up to a satellite every 15 to 25 seconds, but that can seem like an eternity in tracking a moving vehicle. Seconds matter when it comes to protecting homeland security or ensuring your child’s safety. “The problem is tracking things in real time,” Moody said. “If you’re traveling at 60 mph, think how far you can go in that time.”
Moody’s company has developed and tested the Cyber Tracker at the Garden City Terminal at the Savannah, Ga., one of the nation’s largest ports. The small device could be issued to each of the 7,500 drivers entering the port daily, allowing each truck’s movements to be tracked on a secure network. The Cyber Tracker has shaved the 12- to 25-second feedback of other GPS devices down to about a 3-second relay, said Ian Riley, the company’s chief technology officer. Software inside the device can alert security if a driver veers off course, is speeding or lingers too long inside a secure area. Working on a Nextel cell phone network, the device has walkie-talkie features to allow communication with the driver. Employers also could put the Cyber Tracker into their fleet of cars to see where workers are actually driving.
While privacy may be a concern to some, security is paramount to others, Moody said, especially since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and news of child abductions.
“We live in a scary world. People want to protect their assets and their children,” he said.
Marketing to that sense of security, HISS anticipates sales of $7 million by the end of the year, and $125 million in annual sales in the next three years, Moody said.
With the federal government expected to spend billions for homeland security, area businesses with new technology are likely to find success with good solutions, said Robert Goodale, head of the Western North Carolina Center for Technology Commercialization.
“We’ve all read about the gap in port security,” Goodale said. “Companies that have innovative solutions to closing that gap in port security will have a leg up.”

Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. Receives Cyber Tracker Purchase Order from Knox County School System Monday June 27, 8:30 am ET
ASHEVILLE, N.C., June 27, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (Other OTC:HISC.PK - News) has signed an agreement with the Knox County, Tenn. school system for the purchase if its revolutionary Cyber Tracker to be installed on school buses used in its system. The Cyber Tracker provides real-time GPS tracking speed monitoring, stopping time, and flashing lights. The Cyber Tracker will immediately notify the administration if the bus goes off course or is being driven erratically.
``Part of our objective is to be able to locate all of the school buses in real-time, make sure they are traveling on the scheduled routes, and are being operated safely,'' said Rickey R. Grubb, Transportation Supervisor of Knox County Schools. ``Additionally, the solution must not only track where they are, but also provide a historical summary of the buses on a daily basis. We were seeking an all-in-one device that would give us accurate and concise information with the opportunity to add future enhancements.''
With the Cyber Tracker, the school system will be able to monitor where the buses go, when and where they stop, the vehicles' speed, and gas consumption. The school system will take delivery of its first Cyber Trackers later this year. Knox County operates 400 buses within its system.
``This is the most exciting development in the school transportation arena during my 25 year tenure. I am even more excited about the future developments Cyber Tracker will create to further enhance the safety and security of students on our school buses,'' continued Grubb.
``The beauty of the Cyber Tracker is that it can provide all of this information in an accurate and uniform manner,'' said Frank Moody, CEO of Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. ``Knox County uses a large number of independent bus drivers, so having a standard of measure for all of them is important.''
``Student safety is absolutely the top priority,'' said Grubb. ``Parents want to be assured that the buses are operating on schedule in a safe fashion. This device will help give those parents that peace of mind. By tracking our buses and studying their routes, we may find more efficient strategies that could reduce operational overhead. The opportunity to increase efficiency in unison with student safety is definitely a win-win scenario.''
The Cyber Tracker is a portable family detection device designed to provide real-time GPS tracking of vehicles, people, or other mobile or movable objects. Its convenient rugged design (5`` x 5'' x 1``) makes it applicable in a variety of situations where it is necessary to know an exact location of a person or object. It features ''Push to Talk`` ability and an extended battery life.
The company began taking pre-orders for the New Cyber Tracker this June. Please visit http://www.hissusa.com for details.

Homeland Integrated Security Systems Continues Development of Phase III of its Savannah Port Project Wednesday June 29, 8:30 am ET Noted Wireless Expert Ed Legum Commissioned for White Paper
ASHEVILLE, N.C., June 29, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (Other OTC:HISC.PK - News) is continuing to develop Phase III of its Savannah Port Project and will deliver the results from Phase III to more than 350 major ocean ports and more than 175 major commercial river ports. Reports will also been delivered to major airports and other secured facilities. ADVERTISEMENT
Phase III of the Savannah Port Project will consist of GIS mapping and software finalizations and will incorporate tracking devices deployed both on the port and in the immediate area surrounding the port. Homeland Integrated Security Systems owns proprietary technology and has the rights to use patents to some of the most innovative and sophisticated security products. The project at the Savannah Port is being conducted in conjunction with Georgia Tech and the Maritime Logistics Innovation Center (MLIC).
``Phase two of the Savannah Port Project went much better than expected,'' said Frank Moody, CEO of Homeland Security Systems. ``It has allowed us to stay on schedule in developing Phase three of the project, so that we can demonstration to the Port Authority that we have the technology to keep a watchful eye on port security.''
In another development, Homeland Integrated Security Systems has retained noted wireless technology authority Ed Legum to write a White Paper on the Cyber Tracker and the Savannah Port Project. Mr. Legum is founder and president of the Edmond-Howard network. Mr. Legum started his career with Tandy Corporation, where he rose to become the company's audio product manager, responsible for 20 percent of Radio Shack's annual sales. An accomplished author and sought -after speaker, Mr. Legum works with wireless companies worldwide to increase their sales, increase their ARPU, reduce their COA, and improve their customer loyalty. His firm helps companies achieve these goals through highly-customized wireless sales training programs for the major channels of distribution: retail, indirect, B2B, and national enterprise.
``By having someone with Ed Legum's knowledge and status in the wireless industry, Homeland Integrated Security Systems will benefit greatly in positioning the Cyber Tracker in the market,'' said CEO Moody.
According to the New York Times, the U.S. spent more than $4.5 billion on screening devices to monitor the nation's ports, borders, airports, mail and air, the federal government is moving to replace or alter much of the antiterrorism equipment, concluding that it is ineffective, unreliable or too expensive to operate. The federal government will likely need to spend as much as $7 billion more on screening equipment in coming years, according to government estimates.
The Savannah Port Security Project revolves around Homeland Integrated Security Systems' revolutionary Cyber Tracker, which monitors drivers' activities to and from the port's berths. Cyber Trackers would be dispensed using an automated system that will integrate the Cyber Tracker via RFID to bills of laden. When the drivers are leaving the port, the units are collected, thus insuring that all vehicles that enter the port facility are accounted for when leaving. The device also allows port officials to monitor flow in and around the port, as well as speed control, stop times and the ability to archive the customized reports. The Savannah port is the fourth busiest port in the U.S., making it the ideal test site for the project.
