Detecting Explosive Mixture Based On Identifying Components of Explosive Mixture Using Molecular Computational Identification
First Claim
1. A method for detecting an explosive mixture comprising the steps of:
- scanning a potentially hazardous material embedded with molecules used for identifying individual cells, wherein said molecules generate one of light and sonar signatures based on said scanning;
detecting one of said light and sonar signatures generated based on said scanning;
identifying an amount of said potentially hazardous material based on detecting one of said light and sonar signatures; and
generating a security alert indicating existence of a potentially explosive mixture if there exists a combination of other amounts of potentially hazardous materials previously identified with said identified amount of said potentially hazardous material.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for detecting an explosive mixture. A potentially hazardous material is embedded with molecules where these molecules are used for identifying individual cells. Upon scanning the potentially hazardous material, the embedded molecules give off light or sonar signatures as output. The output of these molecules is read by a reader which is used to identify the type of material as well as the amount of the material. This information is stored and correlated with the passenger carrying the identified material and the passenger'"'"'s flight information. A security alert is generated if there is a combination of amounts of potentially hazardous materials previously identified with the amount of potentially hazardous material currently identified that together would be classified as an explosive device where these potentially hazardous materials are to be carried by individual(s) on the same flight(s).
