A fact from GT200 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 February 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know
... that Thai government and army officials have insisted on the effectiveness of the GT200 "remote substance detector", despite the BBC having found it to consist of an empty plastic case?
The section discussing use in Mexico needs a government response section like the Thailand section. It won't be long, basically Mexican authorities have ignored scientific evidence and fact and continue to buy and use the thing. Other facts like the number of people in jail where the gt200 is sole evidence would also be interesting to have in the article. Cataens (talk) 20:39, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I would say the Mexico section needs a rewrite - it isn't very grammatical and I'm not sure about some of the sources. I'll see what I can do. I see there has recently been some useful coverage in the Mexican press [1]. I think it would be a good idea if someone could translate the article into Spanish, as I'm sure our Mexican readers would find it useful. Prioryman (talk) 20:57, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Being portable and light, and "requiring absolutely no battery", makes for an interesting miracle... PLEASE insert an image of the "device", and tell us HOW it suppossedly works (ie: it sounds an alarm -unlikely since it is not powered-,or lights an indicator light -neither-, or deflects a needle? Then, how the hell does it work? I guess it must give some kind of indication. And the article needs to explain WHY it requires an "expert" operator. Amclaussen.
