1. A method for destroying or detonating electrical explosive devices hidden in objects being shipped or inspected, the method comprising:
- placing said objects onto a transport device;
operating said transport device to move said object into a contained environment; and
applying high levels of electromagnetic energy to said objects, wherein said electromagnetic energy interrupts circuitry within said electrical explosive device to destroy or detonate said device.

Abstract
A security system is described wherein radio frequency or microwave radiation of high intensity is used to disable or trigger denotation of explosive devices in a controlled environment. The electromagnetic radiation transmitted from a generator is imposed on a circuit creating a voltage spike in the circuit of greater magnitude than the components in the circuit are capable of handling, resulting in damage to active or passive circuit components, or to cause the circuit to fire in a controlled environment. The invention acts to disable or cause premature detonation of concealed devices.
