though not the only one. <strong>The</strong> hundreds of thousands of<br />
refugees from Syria and Iraq pose another threat – most<br />
refugees want a better life; some are allied with ISIS<br />
and Al Qaeda. No one at this point can tell the difference.<br />
Yet another threat is “homegrown” terrorists,<br />
individuals raised in the West but loyal to radical groups.<br />
Militants have carried out many attacks, including the<br />
marathon bombing in Boston. Some 3700 soldiers<br />
from Western countries, including at least 180 from the<br />
U.S., have served in Iraq and Syria, and the threat is,<br />
they will bring their ideology and terror tactics back to<br />
their home countries. <strong>The</strong> TSA and EU selected Implant<br />
Sciences’ technology to help counter the threats. <strong>The</strong><br />
QS-B220 provides fast, accurate real-time detection of<br />
trace amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial<br />
and homemade explosives, as well as drugs, featuring<br />
lower total cost of operation. <strong>The</strong> system is easy to use,<br />
with intuitive controls that eliminate or reduce training<br />
requirements. A patented automatic internal calibration<br />
system eliminates the need for manual calibration<br />
using costly disposable materials, and its small footprint<br />
is well suited to crowded security checkpoints. Unlike<br />
some competing systems, its low false alarm rate keeps<br />
airport operations on track. Implant Sciences’ QS-B220<br />
has won Government Security News’ Homeland Security<br />
Award for “Best Explosives Detection Solution” in 2013<br />
and 2014, a judgment clearly confirmed by the TSA and<br />
European authorities who have selected the company’s<br />
system as the best way to protect people and property<br />
from the threat of terrorism.<br />
