Nanotechnology-based electronic sensor is fast, highly portable and more sensitive
A long way out, but at least people are trying. Now, we need to get a well-placed greedy ex-DHS person in a consulting position......
TAU chemists develop explosives-detecting sensors
Ongoing research that may be old news that has been pushed to the top of the page by recent events.
Within days of revelations that al-Qaida mailed an explosives-packed printer from Yemen destined for Chicago synagogues, Tel Aviv University said on Tuesday that its researchers have developed a powerful electronic sensor able to detect many kinds of such dangerous chemicals.
The nanotechnology-based sensor is fast, highly portable and more sensitive and reliable for detecting explosives than sniffer dogs are, according to Prof. Fernando Patolsky of the Sackler School of Chemistry, who headed the research team.

Something else for TSA to spend money on, and then put into storage a few years later
