TruScreen
TruScreen is designed to rapidly screen for potential liquid threats in transparent bottles or jars at aviation checkpoints. It can reportedly distinguish between liquid explosives, precursors and benign materials. TruScreen scans through the walls of translucent glass or plastic containers and does not require direct contact with the liquid in question.
