We read stories of people using their orifices to smuggle drugs all the time, but using them to smuggle weapons is more rare.

A woman visiting Stateville Correctional Center to see an inmate there serving a life sentence for murder was arrested after police at the facility discovered she was trying to smuggle a gun into the prison by concealing it in her Play-Doh Fun Factory of Life. Aisha McClinton initially refused a request from police to search her car. When she changed her mind, they discovered pot in her car and a personal frisking of McClinton turned up the gun from her waistband. Officers in the report wrote that the 9mm handgun appeared to have been concealed in an "intimate area" of McClinton's.

McClinton was sentenced to four months in jail and two years probation.
