I didn't handwave and speculate: I said that the detection and antenna problems are enormous. This is borne out by the FAQ you cited, but I didn't need that FAQ to confirm what the physics already tells us. That FAQ does NOT support the claim that stacks of bills may be detected, even with a door-frame-size antenna. --Tim May
