Metal detectors detect everything

[RedKrypton]

I always thought the use of metal detectors was to detect metal and not any contraband passing through?

I tried to play the game and smuggle things like guard uniforms or wood out, but for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason it will get detected. So my question is, is this a bug?

Think of them more like airport scanners. its not a bug, just annoying

They're contraband detectors

So how have the other inmates no problem with smuggling and how would they even be able to detect it.
Another complaint I have:
Why can't I close vents again? I wanted to try it over the ventilation system, by screwing the grates open and after I am finished closing them again, but no it's not possible. I then have to wait until the guards find the hole. Inexplicably the headmaster also instantly knows it was me, how?

Well, you actually can close it again. Just use a "Fake Vents" - or something like that - and you'll be able to open it whenever you want and close.

Click on the vent in your inventory and use it on the vent hole.

What? I never got a vent when unscrewing it. The vent just vanishes.

There's a way to craft fake vents that you can keep in your inventory. Just make sure that the guards don't see you taking them on and off. In the spoiler below there's the recipe.
Tube of super glue + toilet paper = paper mache, you will need two of them for a fake vent

Thanks, maybe now I can have a safe place for my items.
