There used to be available both portable and desktop programmable scanners available that covered cell phone frequencies. (I have one). They are no longer available from normal dealers like Radio Shack, etc. A few bucks in parts and a connecting cable would allow you to record any call intercepted. Could get you cost you too, $ or jail time! They didn't recall those previously sold but the Feds get uptight about miss use of those in public use. I use mine to monitor public service channels. Police, Search and Rescue, even the Airport and Air to Air/Ground frequencies. from an old sergeant

No, scanners at airports or other security points cannot detect if you're using tampons, menstrual cups, softcups or diaphragms as these are inside your body.Pads can be seen when women go through scanners, unfortunately there have been a few cases where women using cloth pads have been strip-searched because security staff have not been trained as well as they should to recognise when women are using sanitary products.
