Article content Recently, the Ontario ministry of the Solicitor General announced the $385,000 rollout of ion scanners across 10 provincial institutions, including the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre (OCDC). These machines are being sold as a necessary addition to the full body x-ray scanner project initiated by the province in 2016. Unfortunately, both contraband detection technologies are unreliable, and their use at OCDC and elsewhere will result in unintended consequences for people not involved with bringing in drugs. Ion scanners don’t definitively show who’s carrying contraband in the body, but rather who has trace elements of drugs on their person. These machines are incredibly sensitive and trace amounts of drugs can be picked up by something as common as handling money. Ion scanners are currently used to screen visitors in federal institutions, resulting in a concerning number of false positives.
