Protection of the traveling public from terrorist threats involving
explosives is a major goal of the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA). For 20 years, the TSA (and the Federal
Aviation Administration before it) have been investing in
technologies to meet that goal. To support that activity, the TSA
has asked the NRC to assess a variety of technological
opportunities for offering such protection. The NRC is approaching
this assignment by issuing a series of reports on chosen technology
applications. This is the first of that series and presents an
assessment of mass spectrometry for enhanced trace detection (ETD)
of chemicals contained in explosives. The report describes
limitations of trace detection in general and the current
technologies in particular. It then presents a discussion of the
potential for mass spectrometry to improve EDT including challenges
faced by such a system, recommendations for starting a program to
take advantage of mass spectrometry, and recommendations for a
phased implementation plan. Table of Contents Front Matter
