Snake oil, anyone?

I know I shouldn't laugh, I know it's a serious thing, but I can't help admiring the balls of the salesman who managed to blag an order for divining rod bomb detectors.

The fnucking salesman and the directors of the company should be charged with manslaughter. They sold them these devices knowing full well that they were useless!
What about if a British soldier was killed at a checkpoint where they were relying on this crap?

"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.”


Flashing lights how much extra for the fit?

I heard about these when I was in Iraq earlier this year by one of the spooks. He told me that they had opened one up and found nothing inside, nothing whatsoever.

I personally think that the CEO of this Company, should be made to stand on a main gate of a military installation in Iraq for a week. If he refuses, jobs a good'en - it's fake, and if he accepts - well hopefully we'll be one less criminal around.
