There was a young man in Raleigh...

No, I am no good at limericks, so here goes the headline:

Guards find cell phone inside NC inmate's rectum

The article goes into details on what the phone was doing there:

Chambers was convicted in 2008 of being a habitual felon and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Investigators said he was using the phone as part of a drug-dealing operation.
No explanation, however, on what the guards were supposed to do in the same location.

And there is a remark even more ominous:
It could not be immediately determined Wednesday if Chambers has a lawyer.
I don't get it: couldn't the guards check, while looking for the phone...

All of which begs the obvious question, how they found out where the phone was in the first place? (I hope it was a small phone.)

Precisely.

RE: how they found the phone -- uhhhh -- it was ringing???

Ugh! Just painful to even think about a cell phone or anything else in that location. But given the small size of some cell phones, it apparently is doable. A lot worse things such as drugs and knives have been smuggled into prison via various body openings such as the rectum. This is why the guards routinely perform what is called, "a full body cavity search" of prisoners. I wonder how long it will be until airplane passengers will have to undergo one when ever they fly.

I doubt it, wouldn't the owner put it on vibration?
