Four different-colored dyes bind at specific locations, depending on which of the four DNA bases is present, allowing scientists to scan the sample with an epifluorescence microscope to determine its base sequence...
...Washington stations also have chemical sensors. That leaves some 30 stations unprotected, and the sensors are still not perfect. But they are a good--and expensive--part of a larger surveillance strategy. If a sensor goes off, Metro officials check out the platform using closed-circuit video. They scan for odd packages or riders showing signs of illness. The idea is to identify a problem--fast--so evacuation can begin. That's because while a train bombing is bad, a biological, chemical or radiation attack on a train is an epidemic snaking through a city via a web of underground...
...course, London officials had been making the same entreaties--for decades. And the campaign had gained new urgency with the Madrid bombings. Last week we were reminded that the populist strategy has its limitations. And so, the day after the bombings, London introduced controversial body-scan machines at the entrances to some subway stations.
