I was actually writing the last piece when news of the Russian airport explosion, came over the wires. What a horrible human tragedy. (I offer my condolences to those who lost loved ones, or suffered injuries).
The Advanced Photonix, hand-held wand, coupled with the T-Ray 4000, would have likely prevented this explosion. It's almost certain the newly proposed "anomaly detection system"(see related story link below), would have prevented this. Let's just hope that the work with IQT, to develop this low-cost anomaly detection system, with API and the Department of Transportation Administration, is making progress, and it can be implemented in major airports across the world in the very near future.

MOSCOW – An explosion ripped through the international arrivals hall at Moscow's busiest airport on Monday, killing at least 31 people and wounding up to 145 as it coated the terminal in blood. The Russian president called it a terror attack.
The mid-afternoon explosion at Domodedovo Airport may have been caused by a suicide bomber, the state RIA Novosti news agency reported. Other Russian media reports said the bomb was packed with shrapnel, screws and ball bearings.
The terminal at Domodedovo Airport was engulfed by smoke and splattered with body parts. Amateur video posted on YouTube showed a pile of bodies on the floor, and other bodies scattered around. Luggage lay strewn across the ground and several small fires burned. A dazed man in a suit pushed a baggage cart through the carnage.
"From the preliminary information we have, it was a terror attack," President Dmitry Medvedev told officials in a televised briefing, saying it was clear that security had been breached

What are they waiting for .....the technology of THZ works, is safe, and can put an end to these terrorist! Its only a matter of time till it hits the homeland...get the THZ out there soon!
ReplyDeleteI've worked in the air transportation business for almost 45 years and am very familiar with the increasing requirement for security at various points - both passenger and cargo. This hand held wand will be a boon to those involved in implementing security measures, and I can see that,in the future, most public places and many office buildings will have such a device incorporated into the entrances - such is where the world seems to be headed, unfortunately.
ReplyDeletethanks Ishot, and bhxman, for your comments. I'm hopeful, that over the course of the next year that we will have tremendous public interest in THz because, people will demand relative safety in traveling and will come to recognize that THz helps meet that need.
