Agreed but as Deltadog said, if you were going to shell out Â£85 million for 1500 of them would you not ensure that rigorous testing and evaluation was done??

Or even just get someone to hide a mag, and make sure the device could find it?

Or even open it up, and see that it's actually an RFID chip inside.

At least that'd make it harder to steal...

But only after the culprit has been diagnosed by his Legal Aid funded lawyers as being unfit for trial!

The director of a company which sold a bomb-detecting device to 20 countries, including Iraq, has been arrested.

ATSC's Jim McCormick, 53, was detained on Friday on suspicion of fraud by misrepresentation, Avon and Somerset police said. He has since been bailed.

It comes after a BBC investigation alleged the ADE-651 did not work.

Earlier, the British government announced a ban on the export of the device to Iraq and Afghanistan, where British forces are serving.

Detailed description of what is actually inside these things, from the Cambridge boffin the BBC used.

Take a look at the manufacturer's website - whoever wrote it is barely literate.

If he was selling this shit door to door to gullible pensioners I'd not be surprised. But to the Iraqi Government? They must have been in on the scam.
