Iraq still using James McCormick’s fake bomb detectors at checkpoints

“A policeman in Baghdad knows the bomb detector he uses is fake, and will do virtually nothing to save anyone’s life, but he has his orders.  ‘If I were given a mop and told that it detects bombs in cars, I would still do it without any hesitation,’ he told AFP, asking not to be identified.  ‘The device is a 100-percent failure and we know that, but it is imposed on us; we cannot disobey direct orders,’ he added.  James McCormick, a British businessman, made an estimated £50 million ($76 million/59 million euros) selling the ‘bomb detectors,’ based on a novelty golf ball finder, to Iraq and other countries. He was sentenced on Thursday to 10 years in jail for fraud.”
