           VIEW SYSTEMS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF MILESTONE TECHNOLOGY

         ENGLEWOOD,  Colo.,  Mar 25, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- View Systems,  Inc.
(OTCBB:  VYST) today  announced that it has completed the acquisition of 100% of
the outstanding  stock of Milestone  Technology,  Inc.  ("Milestone"),  of Idaho
Falls, Idaho.

         Previously,  on December 16, 2001,  View Systems  announced that it had
taken a minority  ownership  interest  in  Milestone,  acquiring  six percent of
Milestone's  common stock in exchange  for 500,000  shares of View  Systems.  To
complete the  acquisition,  View Systems issued to the shareholders of Milestone
3.3 million shares of View Systems  restricted  common stock in exchange for the
remaining  94%  of  Milestone  stock.

         Milestone  Technologies is the premier  developer of concealed  weapons
detection systems.  Milestone's  flagship product is the SecureScan  2000(TM), a
walk-through  detector  that uses  advanced  magnetic  technology  to accurately
pinpoint the location, size and numbers of concealed weapons, such as knives and
guns,  while  "overlooking"  personal  artifacts  such as  coins,  keys and belt
buckles.  Independent testing has demonstrated reduced passenger screening times
of up to 50 percent and improved accuracy of follow-up searches.

         Under  the  terms of the  acquisition,  Mr.  Paul  Reep,  President  of
Milestone,  will continue to perform his role as head of the Milestone  division
and as a vice president of View Systems.  Additionally, Mr. Reep will facilitate
the integration of facial  recognition,  video  surveillance,  concealed weapons
detection and other security products.

         Gunther Than,  chief executive  officer of View Systems,  stated,  "The
acquisition of Milestone  fits right into our strategy for growth.  View Systems
is first  and  foremost  a  company  whose  focus is  providing  technologically
advanced  solutions to help solve security  problems,  and that is also the core
focus of Milestone's  technology.  Since the terrorist  attacks of September 11,
2001,  worldwide demand for improved weapons  detection systems has skyrocketed.
Further,  many of the  customers to whom we are  marketing  our current  product
line, such as schools,  government  facilities and even private businesses,  are
also looking at installing  weapons  detection  systems,  so it only makes sense
that we are able to provide  those types of products.  We estimate  first year's
sales of SecureScan could be as many as 500 units."
