Security polymer threat detection distribution system

A device for determining exposure of a media to an item of interest, the device comprising:

• a media imager configured to create at least one image of the media at a first location;
• a detection material applicator configured to apply, to the media, detection material sensitive to the item of interest, wherein the item of interest is one of a chemical, a biologic compound, or an explosive;
• a processing unit configured to analyze, at a second location, the at least one image of the media to determine if the detection material has sensed the item of interest based, at least in part, on an optical characteristic of the detection material in the at least one image;
• and
• an analysis indicator configured to indicate a result based, at least in part, on an analysis of the at least one image of the media.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by at least one machine, cause the at least one machine to:

• determine a unique identifier of the media;
• create a first image of the media, at a first location;
• apply, to the media, detection material sensitive to the item of interest, wherein the item of interest is one of a chemical, a biologic compound, or an explosive;
• create a second image of the media, at a second location;
• analyze the first image and the second image to determine if the detection material has sensed the item of interest, wherein the analyzing includes determining an optical change between the first image and the second image;
• and
• indicate a result based, at least in part, on the analyzing.
