Jim, I think they got equipment to detect explosives and toxic substances now, if I recall correctly (kind like your smoke detector in your home). After all, odor (or scent) is a gas that can cause some chemical reaction in the equipment. But to generate scent, it's a little more difficult. You have to know the chemical composition that generates a certain scent, and I am sure the parfume companies know that. I think all parfumes are made from the combination of certain chemicals (natural or man-made) and it's all possible to have a machine that does the proper mixing to generate a particular scent. The flash will just store the formula for making it.
