About the Topic
One of the main purposes of the Hidden in Plain Sight presentation is to show many different ways that contraband is hidden right in front of us. A lot of devices used to conceal illegal items are things that we use on a daily basis or are made to resemble very common household items. Some other items that will be displayed are things that we may see and not realize that they are actually displaying signs of support to the culture of drug use. We will also discuss what some of the signs and symptoms are of someone who is under the influence of different substances.
