Just being able to aim a pocket device, or a USB thumb device + apps, and find out about this sort of thing is definitely a worthwhile thing.

Allergy sniffing dogs do work... and they often go for 15K each from reputable breeders. A $300 handheld device that won't ever piss on your rug is a whole lot more convenient.
If this tech really works and the IP can be protected it will soon be in the iPhone7 or equivalent Android devices as a killer app that actually affects marketshare.
