?I don?t care about Sandia or the Department of Justice or any of them,? he says. ?Whether it?s magic or scientific, what I care about is it detects bombs.?

“the Iraqi government?s Ministry of the Interior bought 800 of these devices ? the ADE 651 ? for $32m. That?s $40,000 each, rather brilliantly, and they?ve ordered a further shipment at $53m.”
“The Lebanese Army (Beirut), the Chinese Police (Bejing) , The Thailand Police (Bangkok) also acquired this equipment to detect all types of forbidden substances.”

Interessant punt in het eerste commentaar:
“While I agree that it is utterly abhorent for this to happen, there may be one benefit to these devices. If somebody is carrying a bomb it is a possibility that the sight of a person checking for explosives may discourage them from passing through, even if the method to check is catastrophically flawed. This is particularly true if all parties believe that the ?bomb sniffer? genuinely works.
While it is no excuse for selling these devices, they may well work better than no device.”

@3: Maar dan kun je net zo goed de veiligheidsdiensten een aparte gecustomizede IPhone geven en zeggen dat die bommen kan detecteren. Ben je een factortje 100 ofzo goedkoper uit.
