An example from history pre-DASA: 2006 Aviation Liquid Bomb Plot ● The DfT, supported by Dstl and Home Office scientists, led the government response ● The UK security industry was engaged ● But more innovation was still needed – hence the joint DfT, CPNI and Home Office created an ‘Innovative Research Call on Explosives and Weapons Detection’
