I am an engineer involved with the development of solid rocket motor propellants (explosives). I noticed that airports are now taking swabs of laptop computer cases and analyzing them (chemically) to measure explosive compounds. So far, I've washed my hands well and have not been stopped by the security agents - has this happened to anybody in the explosives industry yet?
 
No I havent been stopped but equipment is being produced to check boarding passes and tickets for explosive contamination and drugs.
