Anti-terrorist system
First Claim
1. A method of securing a fixed confined area, said method comprising:
- instructing or permitting at least one person to enter a gateway adjacent to the fixed confined area;
sealing an entry door and/or an exit door after the at least one person has entered the gateway via an automobile;
emitting at least one detonation signal in or proximate to the gateway to detonate any explosive the person is attempting to transport through the gateway and into the fixed confined area;
opening the entry door and/or the exit door a predetermined amount of time after the at least one signal has been emitted; and
,when the at least one detonation signal does not cause an explosion,wherein the gateway is surrounded by armored walls capable of withstanding an explosion, such walls being arranged to reduce both an amount of debris and an impact of a blast resulting from the explosion from escaping the gateway, andwherein the at least one detonation signal is emitted from a shielded detonator located in or proximate to the gateway.

Abstract
A system and/or method for securing areas (e.g. airport terminals, courtrooms, embassies, borders, property surrounding critical infrastructure, areas within cities/towns, etc.) against terrorists is provided. In certain example embodiments, a system and/or method is provided wherein individuals pass (e.g. walk, drive, etc.) through a gateway before gaining access to a secured area. Signals capable of detonating certain explosives that might be carried by the individuals passing through the gateway are emitted in or proximate the gateway. The gateway may be shielded to minimize damage to the surrounding areas. In certain example embodiments, arc currents are generated to trigger the detonation of explosives. In certain example embodiments, explosives may be detonated using cellular signals.

6. A method of securing a fixed confined area, said method comprising:
-
instructing or permitting at least one person to enter a gateway adjacent to the fixed confined area via an automobile; emitting at least one detonation signal in or proximate to the gateway to detonate any explosive the person is attempting to transport through the gateway and into the fixed confined area; and
,when the at least one detonation signal does not cause an explosion, allowing the at least one person to exit the gateway, wherein the gateway is surrounded by armored walls capable of withstanding an explosion, such walls being arranged to reduce both an amount of debris and an impact of a blast resulting from the explosion from escaping the gateway, and wherein the at least one detonation signal is emitted from a shielded detonator located in or proximate to the gateway, wherein the gateway is provided with an entrance door and an exit door, and wherein the exit door out of the gateway will not open until (a) the entrance door to the gateway has been closed, and (b) a predetermined period of time X has elapsed following closing of the entrance door. - View Dependent Claims (7)
