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