ID-IOM have done a new bit of guerilla packaging, the ADE 651 bomb detection unit. Read more about the ADE 651 scandal (it’s a crazy story).


Text from back of pack:
By programming the detection cards to specifically target a particular substance, (through the proprietary process of electro-static matching of the ionic charge and structure of the substance), the ADE 652 will ‘by-pass’ all known attempts to conceal the target substance.
Can detect anything you want (including, but not limited to, guns, ammunition, drugs, truffles, zombies, robots, unicorns and bank notes) from a distance of up to 10 miles – through lead, water, rock or even from an airplane (up to an altitude of 5 kilometres).
Major-General Jehad al-Jabiri of Iraq’s Interior Ministry’s General Directorate for Combating Explosives has defended the device: “Whether it’s magic or scientific, what I care about is detecting bombs. I don’t care what they say. I know more about bombs than the Americans do. In fact, I know more about bombs than anyone in the world”.
ID-IOM have got a new blog up too, pop by to see what they’re up to. They have also released the video of a live stencil they did at the recent Metro, Clapham show 2010, ‘Come Here Often’.
