Body Orifice Security Scanner, Big B.O.S.S.
A Safe Non-Intrusive Method of Detecting Objects Concealed in Body Cavities
B.O.S.S. is a unique, fast, non-intrusive, inexpensive, high sensitivity detector designed to detect metal objects hidden in body cavities. It is commonly used in corrections facilities to scan inmates for weapons and contraband objects hidden in anal, vaginal, oral and nasal cavities. At some sites visitors are also screened.
B.O.S.S. has undergone extensive testing at US State and Federal Corrections facilities and has received considerable attention in both the electronic and print media.
Typical objects being targeted are razor blades, handcuff keys, paper clips, knives, shanks and tools. It also detects metal foils and objects such as detonator caps. Razor blades are of particular concern as they are difficult to detect in all orientations with walk-through devices. It has even been reported that prisoners are known to cut pouches in the insides of their cheeks to conceal razor blades.
** Helps to Eliminate Stabbings and Slashings **
B.O.S.S. minimizes the need for unpleasant intrusive manual searches and increases the safety of officers and inmates. Because the measurement method is non-intrusive, it eliminates the liability and safety issues associated with manual searches. It also saves the time and expense involved in X-raying a person suspected of concealing contraband metal.
B.O.S.S. can be used to conduct a 100% inspection of inmates being inducted into a facility, for cell block inspections and searches of inmates being transported. Scanning inmates prior to transportation enhances security by insuring that they have no handcuff keys or paper clips that could aid an escape.
B.O.S.S. is equipped with wheels, allowing it to be moved to cell blocks and other locations for snap inspections. It can be moved by tilting the chair backwards and wheeling it like a wheelbarrow.
