This isn't one of those field test kits which contain a reagent on the swab. This is simply a piece of sterile cloth which, after being swabbed, is inserted in the device and processed.
What is the alarm to actual explosives ratio? If you're not at 100% false alarm, you're close to it. So for a track record of 100% false alarm, you're taking people to the private hut to molest them. No assault, no travel.
