OTC-Listed DTII Just Became a Serious Threat to a $10 Billion Industry

The global security screening industry is a massive, technologically advanced field dominated by titans like Leidos (NYSE: $LDOS), with a market capitalization over $20 billion, and OSI Systems (NASDAQ: $OSIS), valued around $3.8 billion. These companies provide the critical scanners seen in airports and high-security buildings worldwide. Yet, for all their sophistication, these technologies share a fundamental trait: they all function by exposing people to the X-rays and millimeter-wave energy they use to scan for threats. This process creates a persistent and unresolved problem regarding health concerns, especially in public spaces like schools or hospitals where frequent screening of the general population is required.

Text in bold black font reads "PASSIVE SECURITY SCAN" on a white background. The word "SCAN" is in a box.

Defense Technologies International Corp. (OTCID: $DTII) has addressed this specific problem from an entirely different angle. The company has developed the ‘Passive Portal’, a weapons detection system built on the principle of causing zero harm. It emits no radiation of any kind. Instead of actively sending energy out, the portal uses a novel array of sensors to passively monitor the Earth’s own ambient magnetic field. It identifies threats by detecting the specific, tiny disturbances that a weapon like a gun or knife creates as it passes through. This allows it to provide security without the health concerns that make traditional scanners unsuitable for many public environments.


To prove its real-world effectiveness, the 'Passive Portal' successfully completed a comprehensive assessment by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) laboratory. This extensive testing involved over 500 operational scans designed to confirm the system’s reliability and performance. For potential customers, particularly government agencies and large corporations, this successful external validation serves as a powerful endorsement. It effectively de-risks the adoption of the technology and establishes the highest level of trust in the product’s capabilities.

Security scanner labeled "PASSIVE SECURITY SCAN" in focus; police shield and brick wall in the background.

This new level of credibility allows DTII to seriously address a substantial market. The global security screening industry is valued at over $10 billion, with specific sectors like school and public venue security growing rapidly. These are the precise markets where a safe, radiation-free screening solution is most needed. The potential to provide security for K-12 schools, stadiums, transportation hubs, and healthcare facilities offers a multi-billion dollar opportunity for a solution of this caliber.


Already the company has said wit this development they are now in advanced discussions with organizations across multiple sectors and geographies, indicating that commercial interest is tangible and immediate. Adding to this momentum, the company has signaled that a formal press announcement is coming this week.


The company's current market capitalization of only around $2.7 million creates a stark picture when measured against the multi-billion dollar industry it is now equipped to enter. This is the profile of a company at a ground-floor position, further evidenced by a tightly-held share structure where only about 8 million shares are in the public float. With its breakthrough technology now proven and the door to a vast market opened, the company is now ready to break ground in the global security industry.
