Ted, Iraq is about the size of California. There are not a great number of inspectors. If Saddam complies completely and declares all of his weapons and their locations the inspectors might be able to verify this cooperation. If Saddam hides everything they have to get very lucky or have an inside source to find it.

The odds of finding a "smoking gun" where never more then very slim no matter how many of them Saddam has unless Saddam cooperates 100%. The only way to test his cooperation is to not announce everything. Then ask him for a complete and total listing of all banned weapons, and information about how no longer existent weapons where destroyed. If we know about one thing that was not listed on the document then Saddam is in violation. This has already happened. If any information is missing or incomplete on the document, then Saddam in violation. Well it is very incomplete as there is no record of what happened to a large amount of WMD. This is a material breach. And if such is not accepted as a breach then there was no point in having the inspectors over there in the first place. You can't find dispersed and hidden WMD in a country like Iraq that is as big or bigger then CA and is tightly controlled by Saddam and his underlings.
