Where do you draw the line though? What are you willing to do to get that number down to 0? That's the big question. Personally, I don't think it is worth it. Are we going to do a cavity search on all the guards each time they enter the building to make sure they aren't bringing in contraband? All the lawyers going to visit their clients? I don't think it is reasonable to expect that you'll eliminate drugs from jails. And I'm depressed that we're willing to trade a pretty basic right to not be strip searched without cause for an attempt at increasing the discovery rate by 0.004 percent. Personal liberty means more than that to me.
