Among New Mexico Tech's in Socorro specialties is high explosives (https://www.nmt.edu/academics/mecheng/graduate-1.php). They have campus off the highway on the way to Magdelena, (which btw is on the way to the VLA radiotelescope a worthy visit). There they conducted multiple tests of IED in various autos in order to develop a signature library.
Chemists study to make drugs or to make explosives. Yeehaw.

I visited the VLA when I went NM on vacation. They said Jody Foster was a real bitch.
