IABTI ITC in New Orleans today and tomorrow. Booth 111. See our new IDEX™ Field Kit, EZK™ explosives detection disc and Serstech Indicator Raman Spectrometer. Also EOD portable x-ray, detonator containers and recoilless disruptors.

FFI's Craig Johnson reviews an x-ray image, taken with Teledyne ICM's new TactX - LITEX - Sherlock system, of student-made detonators, at the Guardian Centers with PAE Inc's HME instructors. High resolution and fine detail allow inspection of the detonators.
Whether or not someone's intentions are illicit, HME and the precursor chemicals used to make then are a threat to the makers, their neighbors & general public. Investigators/responders need proper PPE and easy precursor identification. Yet another case: https://t.co/pRUOFny9P1
Home-made Explosives (HME) are often white powders. FFI has tests kits to identify particular HME chemicals and test kits that detect a broad range of explosives at trace and bulk levels. Here's link to a South Carolina story regarding a related arrest: https://t.co/GDG6MP23SE
Not all homemade explosives (HME) - their blast injuries and property destruction are related to terrorism. FFI's IDEX™ series of testers help investigators identify chemicals used to make HME; ELITE™ & ULTRA™ series test a broad range of explosives. https://t.co/VHrKFj1Ddg
Following-up on yesterday's post, here's more information regarding fake black tar heroin, which has actually got fentanyl or fentanyl derivatives in it, possibly contributing to a higher rate of overdose in unsuspecting users: https://t.co/yBSl55fo6h
LE customers are seeing a black substance associated with fentanyl. For the past few years sellers are making what looks like black tar heroin but can be more potent fentanyl (or derivatives) mixed with what might be burned sugar - overdoses are likely https://t.co/T1KrarwXrH
The dangerous opioid fentanyl and equally or more dangerous derivatives are being added to other drugs. FFI's Fen-Her DXC.002 detects & identifies trace fentanyl and derivatives using two different techniques. Check this drug-bust video from Michigan

Thanks to Brian Andorfer of Guardian Centers in Georgia for sharing these HME/Chem-Bio training photos; Brian and Rocky training US Marines on FFI's ELITE™ explosives detection kits. ELITE™ kits test explosives at trace and bulk levels and also check for HME precursors.
