Czech scientists recently announced that they have discovered a way to identify potentially dangerous substances – the kind that could be used to prepare explosives – without the need to open the bottles. 
The detector reportedly takes about one second, and would alleviate the need to inspect liquids while going through x-ray at airports. Current systems are plagued by inaccuracies caused by different shapes of plastic and glass bottles. In addition, certain non-dangerous substances, such as nail polish remover and peroxide, may produce erroneous results. The researchers are working with Prague Airport to test the new device.
Could this device have prevented the airplane terrorist attack scare a few weeks ago? Could a system like this revolutionize our current airport security procedures?
