Hidden Cell Phones

Four prisoners in an El Salvador jail hid mobile phones, a charger and spare chips in their bowels, jailers said. The men, members of the ultra-violent Mara Salvatrucha street gang and the first in El Salvador known to go to such lengths to make phone calls in jail, used the cellphones to manage robberies, blackmail and murders outside, he added. The Zacatecoluca prison goes by the nickname "Zacatraz", after the famously secure US island jail Alcatraz.
I feel sorry for the one with the charger.
It does remind me of another story I read recently where a pilot asked whether we'll all end up being cavity searched once we find a terrorist that's shoved explosives (or whatever they plan on using) up their bum. Remember, all it takes is a few of them to attempt it and then the rest of the world suffers from the knee-jerk reaction. You'd think common sense would prevail, but perhaps not.
