Richard A. Bendis, CEO and President of True Product ID, Inc.
(TPID) (OTC:ONTV) (BULLETIN BOARD: ONTV) , a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sure Trace Security Corporation (OTC:SSTY), today
announced the appointment of John. G. Voeller as Chief Technology
Officer for True Product ID, Inc. Mr. Voeller is currently Senior
Vice President, Chief Knowledge Officer and Chief Technology
Officer for Black & Veatch, a multi-billion dollar global
engineering and construction company based in Kansas City and will
retain his position with the company in addition to his new role at
True Product ID. Voeller will be responsible for the strategic

anti-counterfeiting technology applications. "John Voeller adds the
industry expertise and experience to expand the True Product ID
technology across multiple business applications. His global
strategic vision will be an asset that will change
anti-counterfeiting methods for the future," comments James Mackay,
Chairman of True Product ID. "John Voeller is a global leader and
innovator in technology. His engagement as a consultant to the
Department of Homeland Security and his American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Fellowship in the office of Science and
Technology Policy for the Executive Office of the President provide
experience that will aid in the growth and market position of our
new company," comments Richard A. Bendis, President and CEO of True
Product ID. "The problem of counterfeit goods of all kinds has
always been with us and the impact of its growth is accelerating.
The need for an accurate high-speed identification of goods as
original in quality and source is equally critical. None of the
traditional technologies of identification of goods is sufficient
to perform these functions. True Product ID has taken a different
tack to open the opportunity for true validation and verification,"

creation of five- and 10-year automation strategies and he is the
principal architect of Powrtrak, the automated engineering system

Foundation, and has worked with a number of Federal agencies
looking at the future automation in both physical and cyber
domains. He has served as Technical Leader for the Chemical,

on advanced technology to deal with terrorist threats with 13
companies including Honeywell, 3M, Motorola, General Dynamics,
Johns Hopkins-APL, Mayo Clinic, CUBRIC, Cargill, BD Sciences and
Syracuse Research. He has also served as chairman of ASME's
Critical Asset Protection Initiative, leading eight teams of world
experts in planning first responder actions and risk analysis of
