Paige, I don't think that we'll ever see the mystery x-ray tech for explosives come to fruition.
Ever.
UVF is all they really have IMO, and everyone else has'em too, just not taylored for niche markets (Nanodrop being one of the few exceptions).
Do they have revolutionary tech that works at significant stand-off distances?
Not in the real world and not in the package size that they're attempting to market. If you want stand-off distance you need (among other things) large collection sensors/lens. Period. They even tell you that in the patent disclosures.
Can't wait to read the results of the MSHP beta testing, the only product that even comes remotely close to doing what Loch/CDEX originally advertised with ELF/EM-1/PS3.
A 34 inch stand-off in 5-12 seconds was the last performance capability as reported by "wpoteet" on RB. A serious downgrade from the original claims.
Do I think the meth gun will perform anywhere close to that?
LOL.. Heck no. I think they're going to run into the same problem that caused the Army and Navy to dismiss the "revolutionary" tech.
Will it work at all?
Heck yes, it's been recently reported that the meth gun has actually detected meth!
How well it works will be measured by how well it sells, not by how CDEX, Capnmike or anyone else glorifies the product or associated crisis it is advertised to solve.
