TATP
The Peroxide
Explosives Threat:
a tip of an iceberg
Ever since the discovery of the so-called “liquid explosive plot” in
August 2006, the aviation industry has been forced to re-focus its
resources on the detection of peroxide-based explosives. Given its
already notorious reputation as the explosive-of-choice by those groups
who utilise suicide bombing as their modus operandi, TATP (a.k.a “the
Mother of Satan”) has become enemy number one. Powerful, easy to
make, cheap to acquire and hard to detect, TATP and other peroxide-
based explosives are, to the aviation industry of the 21st Century what
Semtex was in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Professor Ehud Keinan sets out
the detection challenge.
