Meth takes to long to kill a person. I hope Wankus starts doing heroin so he will die faster.



Jeff, think of the fun in buying this and using it on set or taking it to the AVN Awards. Or maybe even one of those stupid events Luke goes to. Is this in the JM Productions budget?

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.

In an instant the scanner knows if a substance is meth or not. It detects traces of the drug down to one tenth of one millionth of a gram on clothes, skin, and other surfaces.

The sheriff's department showed us how it works on real meth seized as evidence.

"Just point and shoot. Keep it simple," Sexton says.

Eventually, future models of the scanner will be able to test other drugs as well, even explosives.

"We believe there are other applications, we've only begun to scratch the surface," Poteet says.

Production on the scanners is expected to start at the end of the year. Eventually they will cost between $500 and $600 dollars.

"There are benefits all the way around: we know what we got, we know how to charge people and who to keep ahold of," Sexton says.

The next step is to convince the courts of the science behind the detection. That way the justice system will accept it like it already does with radar guns.
