Israeli firm develops laser explosives detector

Israel know-how against the brutal, backward Arab culture... The civilized Israeli culture versus the uncivilized Arab culture... The peace loving Jews versus the war-loving Arabs... The battle goes on...

From the article: "International Technologies Lasers (ITL), which is based in Rishon Letzion, has developed a device that can analyze and identify chemical elements by remote laser sensing harmless to the eyes and body.
The significance is that for the first time, cars and people may be scanned from several meters away to detect explosives, drugs or other illegal materials.

The security establishment is showing a keen interest in the new device, and ITL is expected to sign a contract with the Public Security Ministry in the near future. Several branches of the United States security forces have also examined the device and are enthusiastic about its performance.

Company CEO Ami Rub said the device will be tested in the field by the end of this year. He said the company's own tests give the device a success rate of close to 100 percent in recognizing and detecting materials."
