L-3 Communications, Analogic, Sniffex, Sense Holdings and Technest Work to Protect
Mass Transit Systems and Critical Infrastructure

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., February 1st, 2006 - www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com (HDS) a
global investor and industry news portal for the homeland defense and security
sector, provides an overview entitled "Weapon and Explosives Detection Technology
Securing the Nation's Transit Systems", discussing developments towards securing
mass transit systems through innovation. Insights into the current and future
environment are provided by L-3 Communications, Sniffex Inc., Technest Holdings,
Analogic Corporation and SENSE Holdings. Perspectives on key challenges and market
direction are discussed by Jack Mallon, Senior Managing Director of Mallon
Associates, an investment bank focused on the security industry.

The most urgent national security threat confronting most western nations, according
to Dore Perler, CEO of Sense Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:SEHO), a developer of integrated
explosive detection technologies, "is the surreptitious introduction of lethal
substances into our social infrastructures. These substances include explosives,
chemical warfare agents and biological warfare agents."

Paul Johnson, CEO of Sniffex, Inc. (OTC.PK: SNFX), a developer of a lightweight
handheld distance weapon and explosives detection device explains, "Private industry
recognized the need and the market potential for new and more effect tools for the
fight against terror worldwide. Add to that, Homeland Defense funding, not only in
the US, but worldwide for research and development, and you have the potential for
an impressive array of new tools."

According to Peter Harris, Vice President for Security Strategy for Analogic
Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), a leading designer of security systems, "There are two
main reasons for TSA's continued focus on security. First of all, terrorists believe
in sensationalism and drama to convey their views. Accordingly, we have seen that
airliners filled with innocent passengers are a likely target and will continue to
be so. Secondly, from a technical standpoint, there can be more damage inflicted on
an airplane with a small amount of explosives than possible on a cruise ship or a
subway station."

Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Technest Holdings (OTCBB: TCNH), a provider of
advanced remote sensor systems, chemical detectors, intelligent surveillance and
advanced 3D imaging technology solutions describes, "Chemical and explosives
detection technologies that can be installed to cover large areas such as cargo
ports, transportation systems and sensitive federal facilities will become a hot
commodity. We are trying to solve problems that nobody has yet to date been able to
do and we have the brightest minds in the United States working on it."
"Threats posed to a country\'s critical infrastructure are constantly changing and
can emerge quickly," states William Frain, Senior Vice President of L-3
Communications Security and Detection Systems (NYSE: LLL). "Granted, much has been
accomplished to protect this infrastructure and prepare for the worst, and L-3
Communications Security and Detection System has participated in the strengthening
of some of the world\'s most vulnerable targets by deploying its advanced security
screening technology."
Weapon and Explosives Detection Technology Securing the Nation's Transit Systems

By Ann-Marie Fleming, www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com

As Homeland Security efforts domestically and abroad continue to fight the war
against terrorism there continues to be a significant need for innovative methods
for detecting weapons and explosives. Detection technology has many applications
from protecting our ports and borders, to airports and other mass transit systems,
to crime scenes and hostile military areas. It is apparent that the Homeland
Security industry as a whole is here for the long run and areas such as detection
technology continues to be a growing market within this sector.

As described by Jack Mallon, Senior Managing Director of Mallon Associates, an
investment bank focused on the security industry, "It is an event driven market and
the events over the past month or so including the most recent threat from Bin Laden
will be a key driver for this sector of the industry."
