I'm still skeptical. I wanted to see the dog respond on the protocol box, the handler open the box and reveal to the camera nothing but a phone. How do we know that there was a phone in the box and not a one-pound bag of weed? Because the guys running the deterrence program told us so.
A dog can be trained to detect just about anything...but cell phones? I cant imagine what unique odor they would give off. Plastics are common in prisons, as are electrical components (electronic key pads, computer systems, locks, CCTV). Maybe the lithium/nickel batteries...but most hacks carry Surefire flashlights (especially during a cell search) that use 123v lithium batteries.
I'm more inclined to believe that the cell phones that are being found were hidden alongside the prisoners drug stash. The dog responds on the drugs and cell phone is discovered along with it. The dog handler tells the prisoner that the dog was actually detecting the cell phone. That misinformation is then spread throughout the inmate population, thus deterring the inmates from trying to get away with an illegal phone.
