ADE-651 Magic Wand Bomb Detector Is a Fraud

ADE-651 Magic Wand Bomb Detector Is a Fraud, Probably Killed Hundreds

Jim McCormick  promised his ADE-651 wand could identify anything, including bombs, simply by waving it around with the right RFID card inside. Yeah, totally fake, and now he's in prison. Too bad Iraq already spent $85 million on them.

Literally, the $40,000 (apiece) devices did absolutely nothing. Nada. Zilch. Experts think the insides contained nothing more than a dumb RFID card. Powered by nothing. Nope, not even a power supply. Just some snake oil, if that. $85 million!
