RE: Sealing AVTS units

[" john mclaurin" <jmglobal@earthlink.net>]

That may be the ticket - one consideration - that booth is part of the system "the system has to be certified" if that booth is not part of the certificaiton then we have an issue.  Also, to my knowledge ane Wes K should add in here, none of the counties currently ordering TS units from us in Florida have ordered the booth with it.  There intent is a table top unit for walk in absentee's.
