Concerns that terrorists could produce a new and particularly dangerous form of the explosive responsible for airport security screening of passengers' shoes and restrictions on liquids in carryon baggage are unfounded, a group of scientists is reporting. Their study, which demonstrates that a new form of destructive terrorist material is unlikely, is scheduled for presentation at the 237th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.
