"If you're fed up with the worst offenders in corporate America, and swear never again to buy any product from an offending company - or companies that do business with that company - your wish may soon be granted.
A graduate student at MIT has invented a 'Corporate Fallout Detector' - a handheld scanner that you can run over any product's bar code to reveal the manufacturer's history of pollution or ethics violations. The device, which is still in development, sounds a noise that corresponds to the severity of the infractions. "
