Pessimists sometimes muse the world is getting more dan-
gerous with each passing year, and that technology is at
least partially responsible for both the breadth and depth
of the increasingly creative ways bad guys harm people.
But some technologies also are responsible for
helping to fight against those threats and make
the world safer, and FMDS is one of those.
By providing a foolproof method of detecting
weapons of mass casualty before terrorists get
too close to an event venue, FMDS gives event
security personnel a way to better protect large
events, making them less dangerous and keep-
ing people safe.
