If they have been scammed, it wouldn't be the first time. Those carbomb detection broomstick handles come to mind.
There's a great opportunity for AI here.
"radio waves" are easily detected. The problems in Havana persisted for weeks and I can't believe the people affected didn't have the tech to detect mere "radio waves"... That story doesn't pass the sniff test.

> Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with.
Sounds like a strategic bluff.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana_syndrome, the use of the device has been increasing exponentially:
> There are no official statistics, but media reporting indicated a total of 26 people around 2017,[10] 40 in 2019 (U.S. and Canadian),[11] 130 people in May 2021,[12] more than 200 by September 2021,[13] and more than 1,000 by early 2022.[14]
I suspect that this device's proliferation is going to raise major hell worldwide in the years to come.
