Morpho Detection says the Italian Department of Transport has authorized its Itemiser DX explosive trace detection system for meeting the country’s requirements for use in aviation security applications. The authorization basically opens up the Italian aviation security market for sales of the Itemiser DX. In addition to Italy, Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office, Britain’s Department for Transport and Home Office, and the Dutch Defence, Safety and Security Organization have all approved the Itemiser DX. The Transportation Security Administration has purchased more than 2,800 of the systems for used at U.S. airports. Morpho Detection is part of France’s Safran Group.
