This episode discusses a highly unstable peroxide‑based explosive known as the “Mother of Satan”.
It explains why the substance is extremely dangerous, easy to manufacture, and widely used in terrorist attacks worldwide. Traditional detection methods such as X‑rays fail because it contains no metal or nitrogen.
Doc John describes how his team stabilized the explosive in a laboratory setting, enabling dogs to be trained on its true scent.
Detection dogs can identify this threat and help prevent mass‑casualty attacks.
