Security staff at several hotels are using scanner-style equipment which has been severely criticised to test bags and cars. This is the moment a member of staff at a hotel in terror-hit Sharm
el-Sheikh used a bomb scanner that has been labelled "absolute rubbish"
by experts. Ex-Parachute
Regiment soldier and global security adviser Paul Biddiss told the
Mirror:
“If they are what they appear then these so-called scanners are absolute rubbish, as much use as a chocolate fireguard.”
Mr Biddiss said if the scanners were the same, then they are “utterly useless”.
He went on: “It is supposedly aimed at detecting vapours coming off a device.
“The only use for these things would be as a deterrent, but they could actually cost lives if people believed they worked.
“When they emerged in Iraq they promoted a false sense of security, with many Iraqis being killed because of these implements.”
