Brits Set Up Fake Laundromats with Bomb-Sniffing Washing Machines

Now here ’s a originative military operation : the British typeset up a false launderette in Belfast , where they wanted to incur IRA turkey - Jehovah . They staff the Laundromat with locals and sent out coupons to different neighborhoods , with each neighborhoods coupon a unlike colouring . When people bring their clothes and coupons in , they scram their dress washed , but while their clothes were being wash away , they were in secret being analyzed for turkey - making chemical remainder .

While the laundry was indeed being wash out , pressed and ironic clean , it had one extra oscillation — every garment , sheet , glove , distich of pants , was first sent through an analyzer , located in the basement , that checked for bomb calorimeter - making remainder . The analyzer was disguise as just another man of the laundry equipment ; skilful OPSEC [ operational security ] . Within a few workweek , multiple positives had show up up , indicating the ingredients of dud residue , and intelligence had see which area of the metropolis were involve . To narrow their mark list , [ the laundry ] simply air out more specific coupons [ come ] to all houses in the area , and before long they had in force address .
