(Washington Times)Sharon Behn - Sixty top Israeli security-related companies will display their latest technology for agencies responsible for patrolling U.S. borders and protecting against terrorist threats, at an extraordinary trade conference in Washington this week. "The Israelis excel at combining photo optics, sensing devices, cameras and also water-acoustical instruments, capable of detecting any intrusion and identifying whether it is human or animal," said Rob Hartwell of the American Business Development Group, which helped organize the Oct. 28-29 conference. The event will also include firms involved in satellite tracking, security systems, firearms, ammunition, maritime security, armor, and bulletproof glass. The U.S. and Israel already cooperate in the military arena, and several skilled Israelis have clearances to work in the U.S. military sector.
