Who will protect drugs getting passed over the prison walls? Scanners enough to check drug traffickers who are entering with permission but passing over prison wall need to be guarded properly.

1st scan the jail guards & The police who are at the jails. Then 95% of the contraband entering will stop.

I wonder , why those gadgets to the prison. The inmates don' t make any illegal thing by themselves , but supplied by outsiders. Why the out side can't be kept in order by screening the people like well known Dr. ?

Good move which should have come much much earlier. Yet, better late than never. The issue is, who will supervise the scanning operation?... The corruption have crept in to an extent one cannot imagine..

This should have done long time ago especially during the time when LTTE hardcore terrorists were brought in at the prisons.

Unless the system is fully automated, this may be just another way for officials to collect more bribes. Good try anyway.
