TATP, Ammonium Nitrate, and UREA NITRATE are particularly extremely dangerous compounds which have caused massive destruction of property, and loss of life in the hands of terrorist organizations. Recently three tons of Ammonium Nitrate were captured in Canada which were expected to be used by terrorists from Al-Qaida.

IDenta also has developed an innovative detector which can detect whether a substance is Cocaine/Crack or the white powder of TATP.

Security solutions developing company, Detex Security Systems, has begun the reengineering and development of the second generation of its Milliscope technology. The Next Generation Milliscope will have the ability to detect contraband and plastic explosives using dual sensors for increased sensitivity that will greatly reduce false alarms and ensure extreme accuracy.

Detex intends to develop and convert its newly acquired Milliscope prototype into a fully functioning explosives screening device to be manufactured and distributed globally. The new prototype is expected to be demonstrated by the company in October 2006. The Milliscope uses proprietary millimetric wave technology to rapidly and accurately detect plastic explosives such as Semtex and C-4, conventional explosives such as TNT, and other contraband such as metal and non-metal weapons and illegal drugs.

Detex (formerly Royal Sunmark Energy Corp.), located in Israel, currently has 12 full-time employees and is headed by Gabriel Bitton, a Senior Metallurgical Engineer who previously headed sales and marketing for British Oxygen worldwide. Earlier this year, Detex has acquired all of the explosives detection technology from Intelligent Industrial Systems Research, Ltd. which includes a functioning prototype device.
