ATSC is the company headed by Jim McCormick who produces the ADE 651 fake bomb detector. This is the same Jim McCormick who was arrested and the ADE 651 was banned from being exported from the UK to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Apparently there is no law which prohibits advertising the ADE651 on a web page, as long as none of them are exported from the UK to Iraq or Afghanistan. If you read the web page link to contact them, you will see they do not say where they are located. I suspect they relocated their business office and shipping department outside the UK. This would keep them free of the prohibition to export these fake bomb detectors from the UK.
There are also several other counties which placed bans on importing the ADE651 to their country after seeing them fail to detect explosives.
But it appears there are not many restrictions which stop this company from producing and selling the ADE651.
The biggest deterrent in their path is the general knowledge people have from watching news coverage which shows that they are fake detectors.
You can look at the wikipedia page to learn the basic facts and events that followed the ATSC company, Jim McCormick and the ADE651 here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651
You will read how many explosives and military experts all over the world refused to allow the ADE651 to be used in their country, and how several tests showed explosives could easily get past the guards using the ADE651.
You will also read about the news coverage which helped to spread the word to the general public that these dowsing rods do not work to keep them safe from explosives.
You will see at the bottom of that page, they list several similar devices being marketed in various countries, which include:
HEDD1 (formerly known as Sniffex Plus), marketed by Unival in Germany
Alpha 6, marketed by ComsTrac in the UK
PSD-22
and H3Tec.
What I think about this is the same as what I thought about it when I answered Rudy's post above.
Government justice departments are not very anxious to stop the producers of the ADE651 or other similar products.
Why?
Because the the places where these fake detectors are sold from are seeing profits which improve thier tax revenues.
And officials who buy them for their country receive substantial bribes which improve their personal estate.
You can read in the Wikipedia page how Iraq officials are currently investigating corruption surrounding the sale of ADE651 fake bomb detectors to their military.
