Anyone purchased any body scanning or bomb detection stocks

I was home on vacation this week and did a little day trading with all the hype regarding the failed xmas plane bombing attempt.

I was in ICXT (body scanning for airports) but since my wife needed me to take her shopping at a Japanese supermarket. I decided to sell it and only mad a very small gain, and then I took her to the supermarket in Jersey, well the stock jumped another $6

Rule #1 if your going to day trade you need to be at your computer watching.

I did make some money trading MOC (security personal) and RAE (detection). But I am still in IMSC.OB (sniffer for bomb detection) and VSYM.OB (body scanners) and had a chance to sell both for some nice $$$ and decided to hold both stocks. (well blame the wife again...she is home also this week and wanted to have some fun

Rule #2 if your going to day trade you should not be holding over night and definetly not over a long weekend.

So throw the rules out, now I remember why I stopped trading stocks...too stressful.

Anyone also involved in any of these type of stocks, other plays are LSI, IDOI.OB, OSI, GLOI, IDN, ACTI, IRSN, and others.
