Odd Item of the Month from Dave Barry: Body Orifice Security Scanner

Thanks to humor columnist  Dave Barry and his blog, I found this link to the ultimate example of a product to file under: niche market- BOSS: Body Orifice Security Scanner.

With a product name like that, it's function seems self explanatory, but in case you were wondering, here are some of the selling points listed on the site:

   1. B.O.S.S. minimizes the need for unpleasant intrusive manual searches and increases the safety of officers and inmates.

2. B.O.S.S. is equipped with wheels, allowing it to be moved to cell blocks and other locations for snap inspections. It can be moved by tilting the chair backwards and wheeling it like a wheelbarrow.

Evidently, sourceny, the contact for the product, has been flooded with calls questioning if this is a legit product.  Maybe their motto should be, Leave the dirty work for BOSS.

P.S. You can also purchase an extra large version, Bigg BOSS and the latest model, BOSS 2.
