The 7 year article does not make that claim.

If it can be mounted even on aircraft, this mean from great distance and it can be understood by itself that all landmines are in "containers" and not in form of free bulk explosive.
"The machine also could be mounted on an armored vehicle, on a robot or aboard a small unmanned aircraft.
Tong hopes to develop an instrument that can detect explosives from 110 yards away .."
But main problem with laser spectral detecting small amount of molecules at distance in real world (out of clean lab atmosphere) is that with distance we get huge and uncontrollable amount of unwanted molecules in air which totally cover and eliminate wanted molecules from detection.
