Pornthip Rojanasunand, Director of the Central Institute of Forensic Science, also defended the use of the GT200 devices, claiming that they were effective when searching for bombs and even nails under water. She said: "I do not feel embarrassed if the bomb detector is proven ineffective. Personally, I have never handled the device myself. But my people have used it and it is accurate every time. Long long time ago, people believed that the Earth is flat and anyone who said otherwise faced execution. Things which are not visible does not necessarily mean they do not exist. The devices are there and no one has the right to ban their use. I will continue to use it."

 

???? what a ????

Trying to saving face as they dig the hole even deeper ????????

Human rights activists say more than 400 people have been locked up — some for up to two years — on the basis of spurious evidence gleaned by the device, which is at the centre of a British fraud probe and that experts say is useless.

Can someone explain to me how you can be locked up for two years on evidence 'found' with fake bomb detectors ? Sure if they are fake they do not pick up anything ? And if they did, they work.

 

And if they were locked up on evidence found at their houses after they found fake evidence, should that really matter ?

McCormick was jailed for 10 years last year and others followed - 47-year-old businessman Gary Bolton was convicted last August, Samuel Tree will now spend three and a half years in jail, while his wife received a suspended sentence. The Bedfordshire couple bought cheap plastic parts from China and assembled the devices in a shed in their back garden. Courtesy of the BBC in their 2014 report. I would assume all are released by now and enjoying live.

Surely the head of the Army at the time, needs to be held accountable for this?

 

????

Wonder who that might be?:-

 

"Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, then army chief, declared, "I affirm that the device is still effective."

Human rights activist is a euphenism for someone with a militant, usually radical, political view on the issue at hand.  If the first human right is the right to life, as opposed tot eh right to kill, then these activists should be keen on finding bombs and not supporting bombers.

Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told the Opposition today that the Ministry of Defence has already taken legal action against the local suppliers of the bogus bomb detectors, known as GT-200, seeking compensation estimated at about 747 million baht.

And any action against the idiots responsible for purchasing them?

Thought not.

Were these bomb detectors made in China?

for the army’s procurement of the GT-200s from a British company between 2006 and 2009, in contracts worth several hundred million baht.

Evidently not.

What a JOKE! ????

It's a very sick joke. A bunch of obvious crooks and liars have been in charge now since 2014. And people still take their pronouncements, edicts, and laws at face-value..

Prayuths fingers were truly in that purchasing pie.

I seem to remember his defending how good they worked when the scam first broke.

was it a scam or is the ignorance and stupidity level of the military just an easy target.

The real horror of this story is that soldiers were sent onto active service in guerrilla territory and placed their faith in their superiors and the efficacy of this thing to save their's and other's lives and protect them.

I suspect they have no figures about how many paid with their lives for this ridiculous fraud.

While it's good to have a go at the stupidity of the people who purchased these items let's  not forget that three British Government departments promoted the GT200 for sales abroad when the Home Office knew they were useless.
