Former TSA officer Jonathan Best, 31 years old, of Port St Lucie, FL was sentenced today in New Haven by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall to 6 years and 4 months in prison and an additional 3 years of probation. Best plead guilty to conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute oxycodone. Two other former TSA officers and one former New York police officer also plead guilty in the case. Christopher Allen, 45, of Palm Beach Gardens was also involved in the operation.
Best accepted cash to allow the oxycodone through airport security and also agreed to travel to Connecticut to help launder the profit. The drugs were smuggled through Palm Beach International airport where Best worked. Best and Allen helped move tens of thousands of oxycodone pills through Palm beach International starting in December, 2011 by allowing the traffickers to pass through security with the oxycodone.
the DEA Bridgeport High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force received a tip in April that kicked off the investigation into their drug smuggling operation. The leader of the operation was arrested and told police he would give
Best or Allen money or gift cards in exchange for passage. He admitted
to carrying up to 8,000 pills per trip. Best used the money to pay off his house and credit cards. Allen is to be sentenced in November.

TSA To Roll Out the QS-B220 Quantum Sniffer

The Quantum Sniffer QS-B220 is a desktop explosives and drugs detector. The QS-B220 collects particulate matter and can detect a wide range of explosives and drugs down to the parts per trillion. This QS-B220 produces non-radioactive ions which make it cheaper to operate and easier to transport due to regulations relating to radioactive devices such as the AIT full body scanners.
It is manufactured by Implant Sciences Corp. who tout it's low cost, effectiveness, ease of use and automatic calibration. According to Implant Sciences possible errors are eliminated because the QS-B220 automatically calibrates itself according to it's environment. The device takes about 30 minutes to warm up and only takes about 10 seconds to "clear-down". The QS-B220 can collect a minimum of 180 samples per hour as long as there are no detections.
It is in the final testing phase before receiving certification from the Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) which does testing for the TSA. The TSA will use the device to inspect cargo at airports. The QS-B220 is already in use by many corporations and governments around the world.
The Implant Services Corporation stock (IMSC.PK) has risen recently due to anticipation of the QS-B220's use by the TSA.
