ExpressLane 2.0 User’s Guide
OTS/I2C has an established effort to provide liaison services with a system that collects
biometric information. ExpressLane 2.0, and supporting tools, was developed to support
OTS/I2C in their efforts to verify that this data is also being shared with the Agency.
ExpressLane 2.0 will be installed as part of a normal upgrade to this system by OTS
officers who maintain it. It will overtly appear to be just another part of this system. It’s
called: MOBSLangSvc.exe and is stored in \Windows\System32. Covertly it will collect
the data files of interest from the liaison system and store them encrypted in the covert
partition on a specially watermarked thumb drive when it is inserted into the system. If
necessary, to uninstall ExpressLane 2.0 (MOBSLangSvc.exe) open a command prompt,
navigate to \Windows\System32 and type: “MOBSLangSvc –u”. Two other supporting
utilities are also provided, CreatePartition and ExitRamp 2.0.
