Contraband: ‘Deadly’ cell phone

Stashed securely between the battery and the body of this Motorola cellular flip phone are two large, sturdy paperclips bent into improvised handcuff keys and a 3 1/4-inch razor-sharp single-edge blade that may have come from a wallpaper cutter.

When the battery pack is in place, the phone is fully functional and will turn on when being tested — at airport and courthouse security points, for example. Have you found interesting contraband in your facility?
