All African mine workers are x-rayed before leaving the diamond mines. A trained radiologist like the one in the picture can easily identify even the smallest diamond, which a would be thief might attempt to smuggle out of the mine in his stomach.
If workers are so desperate as to put diamonds up their ass, then who are the ones doing the smuggling? The people who mined the rocks or the capitalists doing penis inspections? Also, what are the other means??
