Bomb Detection Robot

Post by pinkbosseslady »

Saw on the news tonight that WAPOL purchased a new bomb robot for $600,000. Im not sure if thats money well spent. My question is how often does the old robot get used?

I agree with you - definatley - I know that it is a really expensive piece of machinery, but If it can save lives in the event of a serious threat - then why not.....

We are no where near like the United States - that have actual bomb threats with real devices - so we are lucky that we don't have to use them...
