How can it be possible that Governments spend millions on the ADE651 – an empty plastic toy that doesn’t work?
I’ve just watched the Newsnight report exposing the ADE651 ‘bomb detector’ which has earned a British man £50m in sales to the Iraqi Government. Experts took apart the device and revealed it as a ludicrous scam; an empty case with nothing in it that could possibly detect anything – let alone explosives.
It is unbelievable that this device has been sold in some 20 countries - making the ‘inventor’ something like £80 million.
Scams are everywhere and they seem to be on the increase. But it almost beggars belief that the ADE651 could be developed, marketed, sold and exported without someone pointing out the bleedin’ obvious: that it’s nothing more than a toy gun that wouldn’t look out of place on a Scientology table in your local market.
Unbe-f****g-lievable.
I was treated to a demo of the ade651 so called bomb detection equipment some time ago.
Well guess what,it failed,it couldnt detect an explosive stick in a small area.
As an engineer for some 40 years its so obviosly rubbish and a scam
how can anybody believe in it.
When are the people responsible going to be finally proscecuted and locked up for good.
Hi Bob… lols no surprise! I guess the people responsible might get punished… sometime after we’ve punished all those responsible for letting Col. Gadaffi get away with murder, I expect… yawn
