As everyone here has said, this is clearly fraud, if not worse. Which makes this line from the article completely crazy: "Meanwhile, Roe’s device had attracted the attention of the F.B.I., which tested one, determined it was worthless, and sent out a Teletype warning to law-enforcement agencies." The FBI tested this thing, found it was bogus, and did the equivalent of writing a letter to Consumer Reports. If only the FBI were, I don't know, familiar with some kind of department of the government whose job it was to prosecute illegal interstate acts. Some kind of Justice Department maybe? It's wild that they didn't relay this to a federal prosecutor.
