''Silver Bullet'' Solution for Homeland Security?; NBC Terrorist Analyst Roger Cressey and Markland Technologies Present at Homeland Security Conference

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Apr 02, 2004 - www.homelanddefensestocks.com, and www.DomesticPreparedness.com are pleased to announce the March 30th Investment Opportunities in Homeland Defense and Security Conference Presentation for Markland Technologies, Inc. (MRKL) will be available in audio on both sites next week for investors and industry to review. Markland was one of twelve presenting public companies and five industry speakers to educate investors, media and industry analysts at the conference on the long term prospects and potential of the homeland security industry. One of the key points addressed by two of the industry speakers, Mr. Roger Cressey and Mr. Dan Inbar, was that "there is no silver bullet" to make our country safer. Industry experts agree that an integrated technology strategy is critical to combat terrorism.

"It is important not to focus on just finding the latest "gee whiz" technology. Our focus is on the problems. Markland is creating solutions by integrating technologies together. It is the application of technology, and not technology in and of itself, that will make us safer and create consistent financial growth for Markland" stated Markland President Ken Ducey, in summary of his company presentation.

NBC Terrorism Analyst Roger Cressey identified three areas where he predicted most of the budget would be allocated. Two of the areas were chemical detection, and border security, where Markland has a strong presence.

Mr. Ken Ducey was interviewed by several news radio shows at the conference, and the links for the interviews will be published when available at: http://www.marklandtech.com and http://www.Homelanddefensestocks.com
