"We are extremely pleased to have received this order. We have been increasing our marketing efforts to expand our reach beyond government and defense users of our solutions to civilian and corporate customers and the purchase order from Foot Locker is an indication of the demand among corporations and non-defense related businesses for our products and services. This is also a major milestone for us as we move beyond the sale of detection devices into implementation and training of counterterrorism measures," said Jacques Tizabi, UDTT's Chairman and CEO.
