Sometimes it’s simply too difficult to comment. Here’s today’s example of the “beyond any understanding” category.
A. Over the past few months there have been two trials in the UK of individuals offering fake bomb detectors. The details can be seen here (Gary Bolton) and here (James McCormick). I can assure you that these bomb detectors are a scam. I know this absolutely, and I’m appalled that people have bought them and indeed still use them. They are not only a scam but a very obvious scam. I don’t doubt that some ignorant people believe in them, but they are wrong, very wrong. There is no scientific reason to support their use. They are a toy sold in a criminal scam that puts lives at risk. Full stop. Period.
B. Today a car bomb was found in a suburb of Beirut known for the presence of Hezbollah. There’s a picture in the news this evening here, showing Hezbollah security staff using a fake bomb detector. Really.
Sometimes the world is too weird for comment.
IMCSE sincerely hope the Hezbollah Security Director is investigated by his organisation and dealt with, plus those who sold these dangerous, scam items. Nobody should be allowed to profit from this fraud whoever it is purportrated on… IMCSE is engaged in the process of alerting any security system to these scams and to ensure to the best of its ability that these scams are eradicated and those involved prosecuted and the funds recovered. To date over $147 million has been made by the sales of these ludicrous and dangerous items
President,
IMCSE
Weird indeed! That looks like on of the originals. I expect they have collectors value nowadays. T.
