"at the end of the year, additional explosive trace detection machines will also become obsolete: Morpho Detection’s Itemiser 2 and Smiths Detection’s Ionscan 400B and Ionscan 500DT.

These machines have been the workhorses of cargo security for years, and the absence of successful terrorist plots shows just how effective they have been"


To become obsolete would infer they actually worked at one point..please direct me to a link of one instance where either of these two "workhorses" were responsible for detecting PETN on air cargo.
