Sep. 25--A high-tech company based in Fort Wayne completed development this summer on a flagship product that could dramatically improve security at many of the nation's airports.

BioSterile Technology has sold three of its new Sentinel baggage and package inspection systems to the Turkish Ministry of Defense and plans to submit it to the Federal Aviation Administration for testing as soon as possible.

Under ordinary circumstances, the testing could not start until the first quarter of 2002, but terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon two weeks ago could move up the schedule.

"It is always possible that it might be tested earlier," said Elizabeth Isham Cory, a regional spokeswoman for the agency.

In the past, the testing has taken a couple of months for some equipment, but Cory said "it depends on the system; obviously, we want to test it thoroughly and carefully."

The Sentinel was developed by BioSterile's Insight Detection Systems division. The division was created in 1993 to commercialize technology evolving from international defense research and development, including that of the former Soviet Union.
