This device is effective at picking up conventional explosive residue. Unfortunately it will not pick up unconventional explosive compounds, nor will it pick up sealed conventional explosives which the boarder did not handle, be they a surrogate or actual terrorist. The current techniques seem to be working well. An aircraft has not been sabotaged or blown up in a long time. I say maintain vigilance with what we already have and don't spend money on unproven new devices. A canine nose is the best detector we have.
