This new air scanner could replace drug dogs at US borders
The article discusses a new device called VaporID that could potentially replace drug-sniffing dogs at U.S. border crossings. VaporID is a microwave-sized device that can detect the presence of illicit drugs. Unlike drug-sniffing dogs, VaporID does not require training or maintenance, and it can operate continuously without breaks. The device works by analyzing the vapor signatures of different substances, allowing it to identify the presence of drugs with high accuracy. The article suggests that VaporID could be a more efficient and cost-effective solution for border security compared to traditional drug-sniffing dogs. The device is currently being tested by the U.S. Border Patrol, and if proven successful, it could become a valuable tool in the fight against drug trafficking at U.S. borders.
