Sniffex
Sniffex and Sniffex Plus are fake explosive detection systems produced by Homeland Safety International, debunked as ineffective.〔 Also available (here ).〕
==Performance==
An article in ''The Dallas Morning News'' in April 2007 explained that Sniffex is a divining rod and states that "In a test by the U.S. Navy, Sniffex didn't register when two trucks passed within 20 feet, hauling a half ton of explosives."〔(Irving-based firm's device, stock trades under scrutiny ) ''Dallas Morning News'', Monday, April 16, 2007〕 The Navy's counterterrorism technology task force tested Sniffex and concluded "The Sniffex handheld explosives detector does not work."〔 Despite this, the military bought eight for $50,000.〔
Although high performance is claimed in advertising for Sniffex, such claims have not been verified by objective double blind testing.〔(Sniffex fails a double blind test at a public demonstration (includes video clips) )〕 During tests conducted at a public meeting by the president of the company,〔( Seventh Annual Tourism Safety & Security Conference, Anaheim, CA, April 2006 )〕 Sniffex did not detect test explosives when the user did not know in advance where they were located. Additionally, James Randi publicly called into question the validity of Sniffex and exchanged correspondence with the CEO offering one million dollars if Sniffex can do what the press releases claim.
The Sniffex device must not be confused with SniffEx, a prize-winning chemical vapor sensor developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL).〔(ORNL inventions win three 'Research and Development 100s )〕 That sensor was originally called "Sniffex" until Homeland Safety International enforced its trademark and asked ORNL to stop using the name.〔
