Export ban for useless ‘bomb detector’
The UK government has announced a ban on the export to Iraq and Afghanistan of some so-called “bomb detectors”.
It follows an investigation by the BBC’s Newsnight programme which found that one type of “detector” made by a British company cannot work.
The Iraqi government has spent $85m on the ADE-651 and there are concerns that they have failed to stop bomb attacks that have killed hundreds of people.

The device is sold by Jim McCormick, based at offices in rural Somerset, UK.
The ADE-651 is in use at most checkpoints in Baghdad
The ADE-651 detector has never been shown to work in a scientific test.
There are no batteries and it consists of a swivelling aerial mounted to a hinge on a hand-grip. Critics have likened it to a glorified dowsing rod.
Mr McCormick told the BBC in a previous interview that “the theory behind dowsing and the theory behind how we actually detect explosives is very similar”.
If the guy believes in this crap: Jesus, what a fucking moron, and what idiots who bought his crap.
If he doesn’t, and he was just making a buck: I’d consider him an accessory to murder.
