Dear Sir/Madam:

The representations made in this letter are based solely on discussions with and
representations  from the  engagement  partner  on the  audits of the  financial
statements  of the  registrant  for the  two  most  recent  fiscal  years.  This
individual  is no longer with Arthur  Andersen  LLP. We have read the first five
paragraphs  of  Item  4  included  in  the  Form  8-K  dated  June  6,  2002  of
Intelli-Check, Inc., to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
have found no basis for disagreement with the statements contained therein.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Arthur Andersen LLP
