And? That's what they've been always ever since the FAA certified these types of the devices back in the 90s due to PA103. They're just CT-scan machines except instead of scanning people for medical reasons, it's scanning for explosives in bags.

BOS does not use CTX... we use machines from L3 Communications.

Also, one the first systems rolled out in the country, ten years ago. And that $17 million is a drop in the bucket compared to what Massport got:

Logan to get new $140m baggage screening system


As for this whole Chertoff conspiracy. Conidence mostly, IMO. Morpho was actually GE (as in THE GE) Security until two years ago, when
it sold off to Safran as Morpho. And being a former GE division, I'm sure there were lots more fingers in that pie then just a Chertoff cronie. Plus, Morpho's CTX started off as Invision originally and I believe they were the first on the "market" with an FAA-approved EDS back in the 90s, so when it comes to EDSes, they've been around the longest and when comes it to EDS machines, there aren't many approved for use because any checked baggage system an airport proposes or desires has to follow standards set by TSA, which are outlined here.

Cohen is both a retired Flag Officer and a former civilian senior executive service employee. I know from experience that he is subject to a long, if not lifetime, restriction on representing himself back to his former agency. Chertoff was a political appointee and has similar restrictions. Companies hire these guys all the time for their contacts. There aren't that many former DHS and TSA SESs for two reasons: They can't get a job anywhere else; and, there has only been one round of appointees (Bush II Administration). There aren't a lot of "cronies" and they all know each other and know who took their jobs.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I didn't realize know that. PHX does have L3 Communications at entire T3 & T4. They already consider it done to install new inline baggage screening system at entire terminal 3 back in December 2010. That's what exactly my friend told me all about it. There is no more CTX-5500 at T3 & T4. They already phase out the older CTX-5500 machine. They usually the CTX-5500 machine at T3 for 8 years.

TSA Orders Additional Morpho CTX 9800 DSi Explosives Detection Systems
 

Here is another press release from Morpho Detection, Inc. that is posted on Market Watch:

Ya'll have fun with the opening sentence of the press release:
Morpho Detection Systems, Inc was the subject of these past FT threads:

TSA spending $17 million on 15 Explosives Detection Systems from Morpho Detection,Inc

These are only baggage scanners. They're not for people.

Right, this is only for inline baggage screening system. So which US Airports who will install new CTX-9800DSi?

I know MSP's getting 5 or 6 of them.

That's too bad... here are a few lines from the press release:
It is still a visual imaging technologies -- if you're a bad guy, all you have to do is make sure your nefarious devices does not look like a "know threat explosive".

It's an x-ray system. Supposedly it can accurately detect the density of both liquids and solids and compare them to known values for explosives.

Are you absolutely sure? Is they getting 5 or 6 CTX-9800DSi. What about other airport who will have CTX-9800DSi?
