NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - July 21, 2009) - IDO Security, Inc. (OTCBB: [ IDOI ]) ([ www.idosecurityinc.com ]), developer of the innovative MagShoe™ "shoes-on" weapons metal detection system, today announced an order for MagShoe units from its Australian distribution partner, XTEK Limited, for distribution to Australia's Victoria Department of Justice. The units will be added to a number of MagShoe installations already in place at courthouses throughout Melbourne, Australia. The MagShoe devices will deliver an added level of safety to the Australian courthouses by thoroughly scanning the ankles and feet of everyone entering the building, without requiring them to remove their shoes -- offering both improved security, and added convenience.

MagShoe is already well known throughout the Pacific Rim, and specifically in Australia, where it is currently being used for security in a number of family courts around the country and at the Royal Australian Mint. IDO Security's distribution partner in the region, XTEK Limited, is a leading integrated solutions provider for military, law enforcement, government agencies and commercial clients in Australia and New Zealand.

"We continue to see an incredible need -- one that is reinforced by our clients and partners in Australia, and around the world -- for comprehensive, head-to-toe security screening," said Dan Werber, International Marketing Manager of IDO Security. "The MagShoe is the final piece to that puzzle, meeting the needs of government buildings, airports and other venues worldwide that demand the most stringent levels of security."

MagShoe extends the capabilities of today's security screening technologies to include the lower extremities -- an area not effectively addressed by traditional walkthrough and handheld metal detectors. The portable, user-friendly device improves accuracy, reduces wait times and provides clear, immediate results.
