"The Voice100(TM), from New Zealand company Syft Technologies, has the capability to instantly detect peroxide-based explosives. The US and UK authorities have indicated that last week's foiled terrorist plot to destroy up to ten transatlantic planes mid-flight would have involved homemade peroxide explosives such as TATP. Known as the explosive of choice for many terrorist organisations, TATP is easy to make yet very hard to detect using conventional methods. The Voice100(TM) can instantaneously and simultaneously detect the volatiles associated with a range of products of interest to security services world-wide, including liquid explosives. The instrument has been calibrated to identify narcotics, chemical warfare agents such as the nerve gas Sarin, toxic industrial chemicals, and peroxide-based explosives including TATP and HMTD, both used in the July 2005 London bombings. A key benefit of the Voice100(TM) instrument is its ability to detect these substances in real time, critical where the screening of large numbers of people or hand baggage is essential for public safety."
