Markland Technologies Chairman Robert Tarini Talks To The Wall Street Transcript

NEW YORK, February 03/Business Wire/ -- The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with Robert Tarini, Chairman of the Board of Markland Technologies (OTC: MKLD.OB), in which he talks at length about the Companys future.

The entire 2,800 word interview is available free online at http://www.twst.com/ceos.htm

Robert gives an overview of the Company, Markland Technologies is a blend of logistic support services and innovative technologies that have been brought together specifically for opportunities in the homeland security marketplace. We've essentially been at this for the better part of four or five years and just adjusted our focus as a result of what occurred on 9/11."

Robert explains, I will describe what we've worked on to this point. In the area of logistic support we've been providing services to the INS and Customs at five ports of entry in the United States at San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, El Paso, Detroit and Buffalo. Those services are essentially maintenance and evolutionary improvements to a system that had been installed some years ago called the Dedicated Commuter Lane."

Looking forward, Robert states, I think what we want to do in the first year is to establish a solid foundation, to execute on our business plan and to develop relationships that are more along the lines of joint ventures with one or two larger, well-positioned companies that are already in the market. Then, once we've done that, I think anything is possible. We'll obviously have to demonstrate our capabilities and once we've done that, we and our shareholders will enjoy the benefits."

This interview is part of an 85-page Security Products & Services Issue available at: http://www.twst.com/info/info682.htm or by calling 212/952-7433.
