520 _a"Hidden bombs pose an enormous menace. Some are responsible for such well-publicized atrocities as the downing of two Russian jetliners on the same day last August [2004]. Those in the many millions of land mines that now litter the globe garner fewer headlines on any particular day but do far more damage overall, killing or injuring more than 10,000 people each year. How can civilized society rid itself of such threats? Clearly, the answer is complicated, but one component of the solution is to devise equipment that can reliably uncover concealed explosives before they do harm." (AMERICAN SCIENTIST) This article examines research into better ways to detect hidden bombs and land mines.
