Airport pseudoscience

[Brian Jordan]

I don't know the full story, but I can guess. According to the Sky News newspaper preview, the bomb detectors at Sharm el Sheikh airport were totally ineffective. This sounds like the totally fraudulent false "bomb detectors" sold by scammers to Iraq a few years ago.
OK, so scammers exist but how can such a pseudoscientific fraud continue or years?
I'll try to find more details about the fraud tomorrow.
