Known as the Stingray, the device uses conventional military explosives to craft a blade of water sharp enough to slice through a metal bomb and scramble its innards. Developed by the Sandia National Laboratories, thousands of units of this technology have already been shipped to Afghanistan to help diffuse the improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, that are so deadly to U.S. soldiers.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1093928Professor Using High Tech to Detect IEDs NewsMax.com Wires Sunday, Sept. 25, 2005 With some modifications here and a few tweaks there, Dunn believes technology routinely used to figure soil density or measure muscle fat in meat can detect explosives. Dunn envisions two types of sensors. One would be large and transported in a van, capable of detecting explosives several yards away. The van could be at a vehicle checkpoint and data could be fed into a computer a safe distance away. Right now, the sensors can work up to a couple of yards, but Dunn's goal is to extend that range to at least 10 yards and be able to detect an explosive in less than 10 seconds. After the London transit bombings in July, Dunn started work on a smaller version - about 3 feet by 2 feet - that could be wheeled around to check smaller items such as suitcases and knapsacks.
