IACOSS:

I would recommend then that you run your own testing, perhaps with a grant from the AUS govt and test more than the three items in the article listed above. Further, I note that those items that were washed in the above article were not sent to a lab, rather they were sent to the SNIFF test by a dog, which you also should know was not ever verified though a object lab testing. So the article is in essence asking for a leap of faith that there was no residue remaining simply because the dog didn't hit. Dogs a useful subjective tool in deciding where to take a sample but are not qualified or trained to provide a quantitative result that would be argued in court by a smart defense attorney or expert.

You may want to get ahold of James Munday & Associates with the IAAI down there and he may be able to provide more accurate data for you relevant to your country's laws and regulations.
