Students Create Portable Device To Detect Suicide Bombers

The students invented portable, palm-sized metal detectors that could be hidden in trash cans, under tables or in flower pots, for example. The detectors are designed to be part of a wireless sensor network that conveys to a base station where suspicious objects are located and who might be carrying them. Compared with existing technology, the sensors are cheaper, lower-power and longer-range. Each of the sensors weighs about 2 pounds.

Bombs are not always made with metal.

No shit. Not all bullets are stopped by ballistic vests either, but we sure as fuck don't want our troops to go without them!
