In this case no one thought it was weird that the metal detector went off because the prisoner was in a wheelchair. No one wanted to search his diaper because he kept it soiled as much as possible.
The point is, hiding things in an adult diaper of a supposedly disabled person is a tactic that has been used before.
Also an important fact being left of of this story was that the woman had soiled herself, and the urine created a kind of a gel inside the diaper (as the diaper was designed to do, as not to leak). The gel looked like, well a gel, on the scanners. They had to search her to make sure it wasn't an explosive gel.
To all the people saying what an outrage this is, here is a cold hard fact for you. Guns have been smuggled into high scrutiny areas inside adult diapers before! Just look up the escape of one Arcade Comeaux Jr from the TDCJ. The man smuggled in and kept a gun in prison for years by faking paralysis and keeping it (the gun) his diaper.
