Franky Underground - Read The Rest Here

A local company thinks it's found a way to help fight meth.

CDEX Inc. has developed a device which can instantly detect trace amounts of the drug.

Right now it's being tested in Greenlee County, northeast of Tucson.

"When you pull the trigger, UV light comes out of the lamps," says Wade Poteet, the principal scientist behind the scanner.

In an instant the scanner knows if a substance is meth or not. It detects traces of the drug down to one tenth of one millionth of a gram on clothes, skin, and other surfaces.

Scary.

Hopefully this type of evidence collection will not be used as grounds for conviction and only for probable cause situations.

This is still bad news though. Just think if you live with someone who has a "secret addiction" that you don't even know about and you get subjected to one of these scans for some odd reason.
