Thanks for the additional info on the "Pot-Buster" system. Where did you find the info? Didn't have any luck finding additional info on it this morning. I'm curious as to whether or not various filters could be applied to the system to refine its capabilities from all of the false positives.

A number of years ago, a NA Community had problems with trespassers planting marijuana on reservation land. Since visual identification was the way they located them, thousands of acres could be searched and only a few plants found out of thousands. An alternative was being explored. They heard of this system and the police did some checking. When reporting back on all available alternatives using technology, this system wasn't available any longer. Even if available, they couldn’t use it. It would be like starting a drug investigation based on smoke. 100% of the time, cannabis smoking would be detected, but so would cigarette smoking, incense burning, and that burnt roast. Because too may other legitimate plants could falsely be identified as cannabis, it just wasn’t going to work for law enforcement purposes. This is only about the system referenced in the original links. There is a possibility that some other technology has come along making identification much more accurate.
