The Explosive Detecting Device of the Iraqi Forces

"Once again, I ll give a n example of corruption; the big monster that destroy Iraq. I know I talked about this subject many times but this time its a kind of corruption that causes casualties. Its the corruption of the explosive detecting devices that the Iraqi security forces use. While passing through many checkpoint; I found out that these devices are useless and can not detect any kind of explosions.

The first time I found out this fact was few days ago. I was with my friend in his car coming to work. When our car passed through the checkpoint, the Iraqi soldier walked beside the car carrying the detecting device. The antenna of the device moved towards our car which means that we have explosives. The soldier ordered us to park aside. My friend did exactly what the soldier wanted. Another soldier came towards us and told my friend to open the trunk and he searched it. he didn't find anything. while searching our car, a soldier came riding his motorbike and carrying his AK 47 gun. he passed through the checkpoint. I was looking at him when I saw that the device didn't detect anything although the gun was loaded. I thought it is only the device was broken."
