The front cover article headlined, "U.S. Based Company Positioned to Become Global 'Player' in Explosives Trace Detection," details Implant Sciences' evolution into a homeland security focused business, led by a "roster of top-tier executives," bringing the Company's explosives trace detection (ETD) technology to what the company believes is a growing $1 billion industry. GSN describes Implant Sciences' management team and states in the article, "One security observer told GSN that he considers Implant Sciences to be one of the best managed small technology companies around."

The article cites government reports describing the change in security threats away from those that can be detected by x-ray equipment, such as guns and knives, to threats that are not detected by x-ray equipment, such as non-metallic explosives used in recent terrorist activities, including the underwear, shoe, and printer cartridge bombing attempts. Moreover, the article details how Implant Sciences' ETD devices offer a technology solution that can meet these changing threats. GSN also provides an overview of the importance of U.S. Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) approval for the Implant Sciences' products and how the Company's management team is focused on gaining such approvals.

GSN has also published several articles on Implant Sciences' recently announced key management appointments including top executives who have left its largest competitors in the ETD industry to join Implant Sciences.
