High tech "Meth Scanner" detects meth on clothes, skin

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.

2. everyone's wallet will test positive.
There are so many different chemicals that can be used in meth I can see lots of innocent people getting falsely accused.

3. You are correct. It will spread around on the money.
And good luck getting charges dropped or conviction overturned. Machines don't lie. :sarcasm:
