fafster Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Interesting....... BBC News - Newsnight - Useless bomb detector sold worldwide risks lives Holy , if it didn't cost people their lives it would be enough to make you laugh. "powered by static electricity" The manufacturers seem to have found a way around the laws of physics. Impressive. Edited January 22, 2010 by Dos_Box
CHR1S Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I was unsure if I should laff or be shocked, the BBC never does Onion style satire so shocked it was. and wth is a takeaway falafel stand and why did they bomb him?

keithu Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 This scam has been going on for years, originally with a device called 'Sniffex': SNIFFEX Europe | Worldwide Exclusive Distributor | SNIFFEX®PLUS | The Handheld Explosives Detection Device It's exactly what it looks like: a telescopic radio antenna mounted on a handle.
