Body scanner introduced to counter drugs, weapons at Edmonton Remand Centre

Edmonton Remand Centre inmates will go through an electronic body scanner to counter the smuggling of increasingly toxic drugs and other contraband into the lockup.
The scanner, similar to those used by airport security, takes a full body X-ray. The remand centre, which showed off the new equipment Wednesday, is the first correctional facility in Alberta to test the technology. 
New inmates, transferred inmates and inmates suspected of having contraband will be put through the scanner, said
