    This reminds me of an inexpensive security device that was marketed to law enforcement that could somehow detect nefarious substances. It turns out that it was actually empty, an empty plastic box, a hoax. And yet police departments bought them, attracted by the low price.


    I wonder how many people would buy a "laptop" for $10, even if it were only an empty plastic box with a dummy USB connection. Or a deluxe model for $20 if it came with a baby unicorn inside of it?
