Man who sold worthless "explosives detectors" to the Iraqi Military is arrested,
Remember a few years back these puppies were responsible for a road block in Iraq not picking up a car full of explosives that killed 155 people?

We'll the guy who made the kits is now under arrest for "suspicion of fraud".

But, wait... it gets better:

"The Times tested the flimsy device which has no electronic components and no working parts and was unable to detect a paper bag containing fireworks from a few feet away. ATSC’s sales literature claims the device can detect minute quantities of explosives at up to one kilometre, or three kilometres from the air.
Mr McCormick told The Times that his device was being criticised because of its crude appearance.
He added: “We have been dealing with doubters for ten years. One of the problems we have is that the machine does look a little primitive. We are working on a new model that has flashing lights.

:Roflol:

Flashing lights... yeah that will kick your non-functional, non-sensical fucking dowsing rods into gear!

But one question has to be asked...

HOW THE FUCK DID THE MILITARY MISS THIS?
