title: [Procedures and findings in the study of "body-packing" in Hannover].
abstract: During the last year the number of examinations of living persons ordered by custom officers to find out if they are possibly carrying drugs inside their intestinal tract or vagina in the meaning of "Body-Packing" increased severely. In this paper the value of different diagnostic techniques is demonstrated according to experience we gained at Hannover during the last years. Principal questions of german federal law as basis of these examinations are discussed.
