According to the manufacturers the solutions can help with two of the main current international terrorist risks: explosives and flammable liquids.
* Explosive Detection - The TR Detector 7 DETEX is a break-through carry-on luggage X-ray security system. This innovative system features Automatic Explosive Detection, superior image quality, high configurability and network connectivity. The software DETEX, developed in Italy, provides the operator with an automatic explosive detection function, essential to face today's terrorism threats. The system is the world's first hand-baggage machine to conform to European E.D.S. (Explosive Detection System) requirements and provides the operator with a real-time detection of different explosives through coloured outlines.
* Flammable Liquids Detection - The hand-held TR VETOCH can distinguish between flammable and non-flammable liquids and can be used at the point of entry into airports, buildings and transport. The unique construction, using Quasistatic Tomography, can distinguish water and water solutions from organic liquids through glass and other materials up the thickness of 9mm without breaking the seal of the container. VETOCH is easy to use: 1) Bring the sensor below liquid level, 2) Make contact with the wall of the vessel/bottle, 3) Push the button, 4) Red = flammable; Green = Not flammable.
