Would it not be easier, and more accurate to just prohibit the main violaters from even getting anywhere near a mass transit system in the first place?

They have inconvienced the entire world long enough! It's past time to return the favor!

Who would have ever thought that someone from Cal Berkeley would be helping our side of the war on terror?

I'm sure the rest of Berzerkly will put out a fatwa asking for this guys head!

Nice work, Mr. Chang. At least some people are still getting their degree's worth out there.

"But in the course of his research, he developed something called chemical sensors -- or, as he called them -- "small molecules that can sense other molecules, specifically." The molecules, Chang says, are "specially designed so that when it sees or recognizes another molecule, it will give off a signal." The signal would be a clear, bright "glow of light when our chemical sensor sees what it's supposed to see; or, it can change its color.""

There is ZIP new here. There are a bazillion guys working on "chemical sensors" of one or another similar mechanism, many of them specifically focussed on detecting explosives. Thus far, none of them have delivered a PRACTICAL device.

So I guess there isn't going to be any way I can take my Miss Clairol with me.

Cool. So it's theoretically possible, say, to make a sword glow blue in the presence of orcs?

"Chang says even trace amounts of peroxides, or other chemicals that might be used to make explosives, could be detected. "

These chemicals would cause Victoria Gotti to light up like a supernova.
