You get what you pay for?

Thanks to Vig for the amusing news of the day. A million dollars worth of high tech drug scanners in Australia are unable to detect marijuana.

Sources said a prison officer carried more than 50g of marijuana "poking out of his pockets" through the machine and was given the all clear during one test.

They do well with the white powder drugs though so I don't why the prison folks are complaining. I would think they wouldn't mind having maximum security inmates a little mellowed out with some herb.
