I recently visited Dolmen Clifton. Went through the security check to the underground parking. I noticed that your security crew were using a bomb detector device which shocked me hence I’m writing this to you.
A couple of weeks ago there was a deadly bomb blast in Karradha, Iraq which resulted more the 150 people losing their lives. The government investigated the incident and publicized the investigation report. One of the main loophole was the vehicle getting in the city with out being detected. Turns out they were using AED-651 bomb detectors which were just a piece of metal with a shiny steel antenna. Which happens to be used by your crew as well.
I reached out to your HR to convey my concerns met with a security warden named Imran Niazi but then I was kicked to the customer service desk!!
In 2015 we reported that Fake bomb Detectors are still used in Pakistan
The ADE 651 bomb detector was known to be fake for years. It was used at Iraqi security checkpoints til last Sunday https://t.co/9knaVUHx5i

There I met with one of your CS agent who then asked me to talk to the security supervisor(whos name I can’t recall).
I shared my concerns, on which agreed and then started explaining me how I was extremely uneducated about the device and how it works!! ( wasted my 20 mins) He then started to lecture me how will his macho team going to catch the terrorist just by looking at them!!
These fake bomb detectors are still used at airports, hotels, malls, parks etc all over Pakistan
I told him the person who was the owner of the company who sold these devices is spending 10 years behind the bar in the UK.

I felt my responsibility to do what ever I did. It is my request to you to enhance your security measures and keep staff who know how to take a complain.
I will be sharing a bunch of article underneath which I’m sure will explain you the situation further more.
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizen
