Looks like a repackaged golf ball finder. They did well with them in the past. One novelty machine can find golf balls, sniff for drugs, detect explosives and now analyze DNA. Amazing.

You know that Thai civilian governments have little say in purchases of military hardware right?

 

I have highlighted names in bold to give you a clue who were the most likely beneficiaries.

 

Thailand’s technology ministry had found in 2010 that the devices had a successful detection rate of only 20 percent. Nevertheless, then-army commander Gen. Anupong Paochinda — the interior minister in the current military government — denied any corruption and lauded the device’s various “successes.” Thailand had bought more than 700 of the detectors starting in 2004 at a total cost of about $21 million.

The current defense minister, Prawit Wongsuwan, defended the military’s handling of the affair Thursday, telling reporters the devices had been tested and found working at the time of purchase, so there had been no wrongdoing by the military.

How did these two convicted criminal fugitives get a visa to enter the USA? 

Easy, every other country recognises their convictions as politically motivated.

 

How do convicted drug smugglers get Thai cabinet positions? A much more pertinent question.

The UK Home Office, whichever government is in power has become a joke.

 

At least the FA recognize an undesirable crook when they see one!

The joke was on people, like your good self, that thought a military government with martial law would be better for the country and less corrupt than an elected administration.

Money and the correct political contacts.

Are you suggesting the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were complicit in corruption to allow Thaksin and his sister visas to the US?

Shin-hater from way back. Best to ignore... Shin-haters are rarely ones to let reality interfere with their prejudices. All Governments of Thailand - of all stripeds have been corrupt, it's why many Thais want to be pollies. All sensible people know this which is why no sensible people suggest the Shins were any different to any other Thai pollies. They're all corrupt, or at least that seems to be the safest assumption.

I would like to see who has tested this device, the peer reviewed research reports on its efficacy, and who owns the information of your DNA and privacy safeguards your information?

May very well be. But since it is untested and is likely to remain untested, your comment can be written off as verbal diarrhoea Which can just be added to the TV store, which is already copious.
