Update on the fake "bomb detector" bought by Iraq.
23 Feb 2010. CNN World reports that the Iraqi government plans to sue the company that supplied it with fake bomb detectors. So far so good. However, government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said that three Iraqi investigations into the devices determined most of the bomb detectors are working, although some are fake and ineffective. No, no, no. Say it isn't so? They're all fakes! How long can this deadly hoax go on?

A radio antenna that's attached to a platic box, has been "determined to be working." :crazy:

1. Of course they work. As long as they keep getting their cut of the action.

If some nobody Iraqi soldier gets blow to smithereens, oh well, his commander still gets his envelop full of Dinars.

2. Maybe this explains the new claims of 'undetectable bombs'.

Guys with fake bomb detectors against guys with fake undetectable bombs.
