Hmmmm… Steve, you may be getting calls from Al Qaeda if this stuff ever becomes a reality… Good business tho 😃 They have lots of cash. Then you could get a contract with the DoD to sell them specific formulations that allow them to be tracked more obviously. ---

It would probably take a lot more than just a swab to reliably profile an individual’s phero signature. When we were doing our fieldwork, we had to set-up a virtually clean-room environment, wrap the volunteer in a space blanket, let them stew a while, then collect samples via a probe from points all over their bodies, which were then labelled, stored and sent back to base for detailed analysis over the following months. Eventually, we assembled a sampling tent that was lugged round sporting events etc, so we could more rapidly examine participants but it remained a very time consuming procedure and took a good couple of years to get reliable.
