t Mr. Wolff helps large- and small security technology companies write business plans, quantify market opportunities and focus product development activities. In 2009, he cofounded the Association of Independent Aviation Security Professionals with other aviation security professionals to encourage freelance security professionals’ communication and to help guide US checkpoint improvements.  This led to him being selected by IATA to assemble a team & devise a Passenger Checkpoint of the Future strategy for which he co-authored reports, concept renderings and animations that IATA shared with the US Senate & with regulators worldwide.  This led to PreCheck along with adoption of new technologies for checkpoint screening.  He wrote a chapter on this subject for AVSECO Hong Kong's book: “Aviation Security Challenges And Solutions”, 2011. TSA and other countries are adopting elements of this in their Risk Based Screening strategies.

With extensive U.S. and European government and industry contacts, he provides access to stakeholder organizations, implements product development, testing and marketing strategies.  If appropriate, he introduces clients to potential partner organizations and international sales channels and writes proposals to obtain development funds.

In 2013, he was elected by his industry peers to be the Gordon Research Conference on Illicit Substance Detection’s Vice Chair in 2015, and its replacement, the Concealed Explosives Detection Workshop, which held its first successful event in Cambridge, UK September, 2017.

He is co-inventor on 5 patents worldwide.
