For the next 6 years the Wright Sisters talked about the invention that was given to them with enthusiasm. However, two weeks before the 911 terrorist act, Annie was given clear instructions to proceed and called Betty and told her what she was instructed to do.

On December 6, 2005 the sisters were granted a United States patent, patent number 6,972,693 referred to as a 'novel' by the United States Trademark Office. "The Vehicle Security Inspection System" a method / system which may include multiple automated detection devices for detecting explosives, weapons, contraband, etc. which may be contained on or within a motor vehicle.

The system includes a tunnel or enclosure with a moving conveyor therein. A motor vehicle is driven into the entrance to the enclosure, and conveyed past the series of sensors. One or more surveillance cameras may be installed in the enclosure, as well. The various sensors incorporated therein check the vehicle for illegal articles, and the vehicle is released from the enclosure. A control gate may be provided as a door at the exit of the enclosure, and/or as a gate guiding vehicles along their intended route or to a detention area, as appropriate.

The system may be provided either as a portable device or as a permanent installation, and/or may be configured as a multiple lane inspection system. This patented concept is saving countless of lives and making billions of dollars for security and defense contractors with the assistance and knowledge of the Department of Energy and the Department of Homeland Security.. However, the Wright Sisters have not received one dime.

“Like countless other small inventors their patent is being used without a license from them and without their consent. Often due to the lack of money, many solo inventors are pushed in the corner by large companies with deep pockets and they are intimidated, abused and misused through a long lengthy court battle. Information on how the Wright Sisters and other small inventors can be helped is found at www.thepetitionsite.com/1/help-us-citizen-protect-their-patent  and at www.bettyannielitigationfund.web.officelive.com.
