eli5: Does bending over and coughing actually eject whatever your trying to smuggle up your anus/genitals?

813 viewsBiologyOther

Sometimes I watch shows related to prison life as well as listening to stories of ex-cons, and one thing that struck me as odd was the protocol of bending and coughing in front of an officer to see of your hiding anything illegal. How does that work? How do the officers know for sure that there actually isn’t anything in there after one cough? If there is stuff in there, how can it come out just by coughing?

500 million years of vertebrate evolution and this is what it amounts to. The amount of moving parts that had to come together JUST RIGHT for a post like this to even exist is baffling. This has made my day, and will never stop being funny.
