Q

What type of bulk explosives detection technology is often built into fixed sites, sometimes in a building all to itself?

A

High-energy x-ray, or gamma ray devices that use radioactivity rather than an x-ray tube.
These are often used for detection of explosives in vehicles and cargo containers.
