No no no, not to detect the presence of explosive by odor, chemical composition and so on. With an x-ray they would have seen the stuff strapped to his leg or inside his underwear or wherever it was. That is what I am talking about. And the x-ray machine can have a chemical detector in it as well. Chemical detectors are already being used. When coming from Iraq on R&R, I had my assault pack which while in Iraq was used to carry extra ammunition. So of course they detectors went off and I had to have my bag rubbed down with the little cloths, which turned up positive for gun powder. It did not take long for me to explain it though so it was not really an inconvenience for me. Shows that something in place was actually working.
