"In another case, a 43-year-old man from Middlesex was imprisoned earlier this week for four years after Dubai customs officials used highly sensitive screening equipment to detect 0.003g cannabis in the tread of his shoe."

WOW

With how new cameras work, they can see drugs through your clothing and shit so they can tell whatever you have on you, they don't even have to see the drugs or anything. They read radiation that different substances give off. Ridiculous.

my english teacher told me about some guy that ate a poppy seed muffin and got on the plane to go to dubai (if not dubai then some place like that) and they help him for over a year cause they thought he had something to do with opium

on the other hand my english teacher gets high every class so he might just be spewing stoner talk.

"The amount of the drug found on his shoe would not be visible to the naked eye and weighs less than a single grain of sugar."

Haha sorry buddy, but I did, and not to toot my own horn but I'm fairly intelligent. I actually understand how this tech works, hopefully you will too to clear things up for you.

http://gizmodo.com/365619/new-camera-can-tell-exactly-whats-in-your-pockets-from-80-feet-away

"A British company called ThruVision has developed a camera that can detect items such as guns, drugs and explosives under people's clothes without, for better or worse, being able to see their genitals. It holds a lot of promise for places like airport security checkpoints but stands to open up a huge can of privacy-hating worms elsewhere.

The camera is called the T5000, and it sees objects based on the Terahertz, or T-rays, that they emit. The camera works because all people and objects emit low-level electromagnetic radiation. Every material emits a different signature of Terahertz wave, which lies between infrared and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum. That means it can tell the difference between cocaine and flour but won't show the distinct outline of your danglers."

No they dont like drugs here but you still find them somehow smuggled insode. Also if you ever come here find a little paki shop and buy some Doha, its the local thing to smoke and give you a huge high which is pretty intense.

They also have cars that can get 100 miles to the gallon, does that mean that they are used everywhere?

You do realize that if there was ANYWHERE in the world that would utilize this incredibly expensive and brand new technology, it would be Dubai right? I mean, it's fucking Dubai after all. The chance of them forking over tons and tons of money for this brand new state of the art technology is probably really good.
