IE Information Notice No. 80-18 POSSIBLE WEAPONS SMUGGLING POUCH The NRC recently received information concerning a device used for smuggling that can preclude detection of weapons by security X ray machines.
The device is described as a gray, metalfoil pouch measuring approximately 20" x 12" which can be folded to wallet size when not in use. When in use, X-ray images produce only a mottled picture with no indications of a solid mass such as that of a weapon or similar contraband.
The same material used to construct the pouch has been used to line hollow compartments of hand carried packages and parcels such as attache and cosmetic cases.
The pouch is reported to look something like a leadlined pouch sold in the U.S.
to protect film from harmful X ray effect, except that the U.S. manufactured pouch distinctly reveals the silhouette of any solid mass content such as that produced by a gun when subjected to X-ray.
