Cleaned up opening statement by deleting reference to prison slang - slang words should either be considered irrelevant or placed in a different section. the phrase 'booty search' seemed like an inappropriate way to start the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.209.236 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 4 September 2007
This makes not much sense to me. Where are the "searchable orfices" in the penis, testicles, and breasts? Nabla 23:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
"Suspects and inmates can be highly creative in using their bodies to conceal contraband." This casts suspects/inmates in a suspicious light, as conniving individuals, and hints toward generalization. Also, "creative" is a highly subjective term that doesn't appear to be necessary in this context. I was thinking something more like "historically, there have been many different methods used to conceal contraband" or something along those lines. Paralysisordeath 02:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am puzzle with the two last words of the following sentence:
"During manual body cavity searches, body orifices are probed using fingers or the entire hand."
Do you have references about situations were full hand is used or some reference to Police instructions were it is stated that they can use up to full hand? Alan Quest (talk) 21:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why is the U.S. singled out here? Surely they're not the only border service to perform this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.244.67.14 (talk) 16:55, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In some countries authorities demand for squatting over a mirror. Demands can be made that the squat should be held, and a flashlight can be used for extra lighting. The article does not explain that these squats are part of a visual body cavity search. 178.232.151.249 (talk) 11:21, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...transferred to an offsite clinic to be examined by a licensed physician of the same gender
There is no reference to this part. Why does it use the made-up and politicized word "gender"? Afaik, it was not common in the decades past. Shouldn't "sex" be used instead? Is it a case of Wikipediaspeak?--Adûnâi (talk) 01:47, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
