Description:
Police officers, dog trainers, customs
officers and airport security inspectors,
need a simple method of depositing a trace
sample of explosives and pseudo-drug
simulants. Until now, this has meant
compliance with onerous licensing, shipping
and storage requirements. Securesearch, Inc.
is the exclusive manufacturer of a series of
fiber-tip marking pens, each containing
MICROTRACE amounts of different explosive
particles, simulated G-agent, one of 7
pseudo-drug simulants, corpse scent and
black mold scent, in a volatile solvent. The
metal-bodied markers operate on a one-way
release valve, activated only when the user
applies pressure to the tip, and draws it
across the surface of an object. The smear
left on the surface, while invisible, can be
detected by a trained dog.
Available formulations
include but are not limited to PETN; RDX; TNT; EGDN;
MMAN; Detonating Cord; Potassium Nitrate; o-MNT; p-MNT,
DNT; Nitroglycerin; Ammonium Nitrate; Potassium
Perchlorate; Sodium Chlorate; Sodium Perchlorate;
Smokeless Powder (Nitrocellulose); Black Powder;
Dynamite; C4; Detasheet; Watergel Explosives; and Urea
Nitrate. The explosive taggant DMNB used in Europe, is
also available. Most of the explosive formulations have
now been approved by the Canadian Government for sale
within Canada. Some will require an additional special
application to obtain approval. Each pen contains a
maximum 14 ml of solvent with dissolved explosives at
various approved levels. The maximum explosive
concentration level depends on the explosive involved,
ranging from one microgram per microliter to 7
micrograms per microliter. In some pens the law sets no
maximum concentrations. Custom concentrations can also
be made within limits. One of our markers also contains
G-Agent -- a Nerve Agent Simulant.
The 4 Sigma Chemical drug
simulants pseudo-heroin, pseudo-cocaine, pseudo-LSD and
pseudo-marijuana are available from us as marker pens.
Due to requests received, we also have additional pens,
each containing methamphetamine, ecstasy and oxycontin
scents, corpse (dead body) scent for searches, and one
containing black & green mold extract, developed by our
company.
A bedbug pheromone extract is under development.
Users can purchase
control pens with solvent only, (either methanol,
ethanol or isopropyl alcohol in combination with water),
for use in dog training and testing.
The various formulations
are available as single pens or in several types of
kits, including a lockable metal case and a small,
lockable plastic Pelican case.
The U.S. Department of
Transportation has approved the explosive marker pens as
NON-REGULATED and the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms & Explosives (BATFE) have approved the
explosive marker pens as NON-REGULATED “Special
Explosive Device” items for use in the U.S.A. BATFE
still requires the same documentary record keeping for
the markers, (as for other explosives), and each is sold
with a lot number and filling date on the label.
Civilian purchasers no longer need an explosives licence
to purchase, store or transport the markers.
WITHIN CANADA, MARKERS
ARE SOLD ONLY TO VERIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND
DETECTOR DOG TRAINING COMPANIES. UNDER CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT REGULATION, NO INDIVIDUAL PURCHASES ARE
PERMITTED.
It is the end-user’s
responsibility to verify your country’s importation and
possession laws and regulations, prior to ordering. We
reserve the right to refuse sale of these products,
where our customer approval process deems such sale to
be undesirable, unlawful or otherwise not in our
commercial interest.

Summary

In 1995 the R&D chemist at Securesearch, Inc.
developed a series of trace marker pens containing live explosives in a
quick-evaporating solvent. These were tested for long-term stability in
a federal government testing laboratory --and also to prove the levels
were low enough not to be able to be detonated by a detonator.
In 1997, after two years of meetings among 19
different government agencies, they were approved by the US Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, (ATF -- now ATFE) and the US Department
of Transportation (DOT) for sale and transport within the USA. They were
approved one year earlier for sale in Canada. The marker pens were
regulated in the USA until 2006, when the requirement was lifted and the
licensing of purchasers was no longer mandatory.
These pens were developed primarily for training and
testing detector canines on very small (micro trace quantities) of
explosives, useful as a refresher for the dogs.
Secondarily, they could be used to test explosive
detection instrumentation, although this is not a recommended use for a
number of reasons outlined in our technical literature.
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
uses these marker pens at many airports and training centers throughout
the United States.
The markers have an average shelf life of about 3
years if kept in low temperature storage such as a refrigerator.
More than 40 types are available, containing
explosives, oxidizers, chemical taggants for plastic explosives, pseudo
drugs (breakdown products and precursor chemicals). A control marker pen
is also available containing only solvent.
