A small device was demoed to me that could accept an object and report if it had cocaine on it. The officer asked for a dollar, I handed him one, and they put it in.
The machine detected cocaine. I was surprised to learn that the powder is so fine it's on nearly all US paper money.
- spywaregorilla 3y agoHow is this measured? The concentrations seem so small. Are we sure the readings are accurate?
