'''Explosive detection''' is a non-destructive [[inspection]] process to determine whether a container contains [[explosive material]]. Explosive detection is commonly used at [[airport]]s, [[port]]s and for [[border control]]. Regardless of the type of tools, the technologies can be classified into four main types: [[imaging technologies]] (mainly X-rays), [[EDD]]sEDDs (Explosive Detection Dogs), [[ETD]]sETDs (Explosive Trace Detectors), and [[EVD]]sEVDs (Explosive Vapor Detectors).
