Researchers Develop Laser ‘Bomb Sniffers’ -- Value Walk
Bomb sniffing dogs may become obsolete thanks to new technology developed by researchers at UC Berkeley
Bomb sniffing dogs have become an important part of law enforcement, but that could change. Over the weekend, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley published their findings in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
“Bomb sniffing” laser sensor
Mechanical engineering professor Xiang Zhang headed up the team. They found a way to make laser sensors sensitive enough to be able to detect “incredibly minute concentrations of explosives,” according to the UC Berkeley News Center. Researchers said law enforcement could use the sensor to detect a type of explosive that is used by terrorists and usually difficult to detect.

My Comment: Dogs give "unconditional love" .... lasers .... hmmmm .... nope. But technology being what it is .... expect these "bomb sniffing" lasers becoming the standard for U.S. soldiers very soon.
