I was a bit quick there. Of course there's a
chance that someone got something through, but I build my statement on the following;
a) we found and confiscated even left-over single rounds of training ammo (mostly plastic, so the wands don't help
b) soldiers were eager to bring home "souvenirs", such as pocketknives, ammo, grenade safety pins etc, and were very inventive in finding hiding places. We still got them.
c) I had exceptionally well-trained and efficient staff (also partially trained by myself...

).
d) We received no reports from officers that we had missed anything, and they were usually very eager to point out our mistakes
