Late last year, I shared a news story about Iraqi security forces actually purchasing and attempting to utilize $85,000,000 worth of British-made bomb-detecting magic wands... and I still wish I were making that $#!t up. Well, in recent weeks, it seems that James McCormick, the New Age war profiteer responsible for the 'ADE 561 Bomb Detection Device' was arrested for fraud and is now out on bail. To make the story even more interesting, in the video below, professional skeptic (and Charles Darwin look-alike) James Randi adds extra light to the story by talking about his own history with the ADE 561 dowsing wands.
For those who don't know, James Randi is the head of an organization known as the JREF and is probably best known for offering an as-of-yet unclaimed $1,000,000 prize open to anyone who can demonstrate dowsing, psychic phenomena or any other paranormal claim under proper scientific observing conditions.
