Thanks to Clinton Rogers of BBC Somerset, the fake explosives detectors story continues.
Stelian Ilie at Mira Telecom just cannot stop dreaming of getting rich with the fake detector fraud.
The BBC report below gives details of how Mira have patented a new version of the detector. After their involvement with James McCormick and the ADE651 you would have thought they might have learned their lesson by now. Of course, they have also dabbled with the AL-6D, the DKL Lifeguard and the EPOFAT Train Guard detection system. But no, their addiction to dodgy detectors just goes on.
Just to clarify, gaining a patent does not mean you have to prove that the product actually works.
It is incredible that the European Union has funded Mira to undertake research into explosives detection to the tune of 750 000 Euros.
When will this scam be done and dusted?
Just to remind you, Stelian Ilie has threatened us with legal action in the past, but doesn't seem to have the courage of his conviction to follow up his threats. Perhaps he will this time? Stelian, you are a conman and fraudster, and hopefully it will not be long before you are locked up in prison, just like your old friend McCormick.

There is a more detailed report here, but think you can only access this in the U.K.

P.S. I forgot to mention that the new Mira Telecom 'detector' finally has the flashing light that McCormick said would make his ADE651 look more sophisticated. Now that must mean it works now, doesn't it? Tell us what you think!

MIRA TELECOM EPIC FAIL - AGAIN
I am referring to an earlier post:
MORE ROMANIAN MYSTERY
I recently received the following email in response to my complaints and enquiries to the European Union funding agency responsible for the project:
So, that might explain why the project was never commissioned. Funny that we have not seen any mention of this in the Romanian media? I wonder why? So, we will be keeping a close eye on Mira Telecom to see if they try to wangle any more money from the European pot.
We will also, of course, keep up the pressure on the Romanian authorities to investigate the involvement of Stelian Ilie and Mira Telecom with the ADE651, James McCormick, the DKL Lifeguard and the AL-6D.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that our old friend Dr Marian Apostol was involved in this project. No wonder it went tits up!
MORE ROMANIAN MYSTERY
I recently received the following email in response to my complaints and enquiries to the European Union funding agency responsible for the project:
Sent by FORTAN Kelly (HOME) <Kelly.FORTAN@ec.europa.eu>. All responses have to be sent to this email address.
Envoyé par FORTAN Kelly (HOME) <Kelly.FORTAN@ec.europa.eu> . Toutes les réponses doivent être effectuées à cette adresse électronique.
Thank
you for your enquiry. The project you refer to was planned to be
co-financed through the 2010 annual programme of the External Borders
Fund under the action "Scanning equipment for detection of hidden
persons/stowaways in the transport means".
The
project was declared unsuccessful by the Romanian Responsible Authority
in charge with the implementation of the External Borders Fund, and
therefore it was not charged to or co-financed from the Fund. If you
would like to receive more information on this project, please do not
hesitate to contact the Romanian Authority in charge with the
implementation of the External Borders Fund at the following
coordinates: Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Schengen
Directorate, European Funds Unit, email: ceip@mai.gov.ro, Tel. 021. 264.86.40, Fax 021. 206.09.05, Int. 11063
With kind regards,

MORE ROMANIAN MYSTERY
Below is an open letter to Stelian Ilie at Mira Telecom in Romania. For those of you who are new to this blog, Mira Telecom were partners with, and agents for Mr James McCormick and the ADE651. Not only did they sell that useless, fraudulent, fake detector, but also the equally useless DKL Lifeguard, and AL-6D versions of the swivelling stick.
News reaches us from Romania that they have also been involved with another 'detection' technology, which we believe is also probably useless. Please see below for relevant links.
Dear Mr Ilie,
We understand that your company is responsible for having installed the EPOFAT Train Guard system at Nicolina Station, which you and the manufacturers claim can detect humans in train wagons, and is supposed to help with border control to prevent illegal immigration.
We understand that the system is claimed to work by detecting the electromagnetic field of the human body, and that it can operate through metal and concrete.
We understand that the system was sold for 550 000 Euros, and that the money to buy it was provided by the European Union.
Our information indicates that this project is a pilot for possible further installations.
We also understand that the system is still not operating despite having been in place since late 2011, or early 2012. We understand that this is because it has still not been commissioned and tested by your so called experts.
In the opinion of a highly respected U.K. based Professor of Physics, the ability of the system to work as claimed is highly questionable. His exact words are as follows:
'The website doesn't have much in the way of technical information, so it's difficult for me to make any specific comments.
However the operating principle, remotely detecting the electromagnetic fields of humans, seems rather dubious to me. While people might create very small fields, due to the movement of electrical charges in nerves and the like, these would be so small as to be virtually undetectable. They would be completely drowned by everyday background EM fields from radio stations, mobile phones and the like.
I would like to think that anyone considering buying such a device would insist on seeing rigorous, double blind independent tests to prove its effectiveness, but somehow I doubt that will be the case.'
So Mr Ilie, we have some important questions:
1. Why is the system still not operational so long after installation?
2. What rigorous double blind testing has taken place on the system? If it has been fully tested, please provide details as to who carried out the testing, the protocols used, and the results?
Given your history of involvement with the fraudulent ADE651, DKL Lifeguard, and AL-6D 'detectors' you will understand that we are highly suspicious of your involvement with any security equipment that appears to have suspiciously pseudoscientific sounding explanations.
Please note that we are copying this letter to the procurement authority in Romania who were responsible for acquiring the system, as well as the European Funding agency responsible for providing the money used to buy it, so I suggest that you had better have some very good answers.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Robinson
