The committee examined four approaches to reducing the bombing threat: addition of detection markers to explosives for pre-blast detection, addition of identification taggants to explosives for post-blast identification of bombers, possible means to render common explosive materials inert, and placing controls on explosives and their precursors. The book makes several recommendations to reduce the number of criminal bombings in this country.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/5966/containing-the-threat-from-illegal-bombings-an-integrated-national-strategy", year = 1998, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
