Straighten it and use a needle to push it into a tube of toothpaste.
That's a good one. Can't metal detect inside a metal tube, not an obvious hiding spot at all
What about a CT/xray though? Id imagine investigator would be motivated enough to use one
What sort of x ray machine could be transported to the site? What size things would fit in a portable x ray machine? How long would each exposure take?
Xrays can be pretty immediately viewable they are used by airport security all the time there are smaller portable imaging machines that are more portable but really if i was investigator id start by having my team removing everything from the place and transporting it to the machine. The one half does the imaging and the other half starts tearing into the residence. Whoever finishes first gets to look through every xray image so that every person has inspected every image at least once
Oh right. It would take some time, but not 12 hours to run everything in the house through the X-ray. Including breaking down larger items for scanning.
Yea and some items could be grouped together like toothbrushes and pens/pencils. It would definitely at least take half the day but if assuming unlimited funds/manpower you could have multiple machines manned by teams
Oh man. Seems there would have to be a limit on manpower and machinery available to the subcontractors
And it's usable. Might need to brush up before my 15 minutes is over. Even less suspicious. (I think).
