Body Orifice Security Scanners To Prevent Prisoners From Smuggling

In an effort to prevent prisoners from smuggling mobile phones in, British prisons will soon be introducing butt scanning chairs called Body Orifice Security Scanners, or BOSS.

The £6,500 chairs, which can also be used to detect drugs and weapons, have three ultra-sensitive sensors which can detect metal items as small as a pin, and will beep if the person has a foreign object hidden ‘behind the back door.'

I say being scanned in a non-intrusive manner sounds far more appealing than being digitally probed!
