A recent press release from TSA announced the expanded use of explosive trace detection (ETD) at airports across the country.
TSA screeners will use ETD to screen passengers' hands and carry-on baggage for explosive residue in checkpoint queuing areas, at security checkpoints and boarding gates. Electronic Trace Detection involves the swab of a piece of luggage or the passenger's hands for electronic analysis of potential explosive residue. The swab will not be reused so as to mitigate any health concerns.
