Coincidence? Following FPS Building Security Failures, It Goes for New X-ray Gear
After GAO investigators tested physical access controls at 10 FPS-guarded government buildings and managed to smuggle bomb parts into all of them, the security failure was directed mostly at the contract security officers. But this week Smiths Detection told Security Magazine it has reached a five-year agreement for critical infrastructure security systems.
Federal Protective Service (FPS), an operational division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), part of the Department of Homeland Security, chose Smiths Detection's sophisticated X-ray systems to help pinpoint any potential threat items.
