Security Thread 4.0: Oh no

[RAWK_LAWBSTAR]

Searching doesn't take that long. Just empty their pockets,  bag, and belt if they have one. Click drag any boxes inside to yourself. Confiscate anything illegal, or that they can use to get out of a cell. Shouldn't take more than 30 seconds.

If you really wanna get crazy, you can check each item individually for stealth storage or deringers, but that's really going the extra step.

I dunno. A scanner could speed the process up, but a hand one might make it too easy to random check people in the halls. A better option would be a gate near the brig they have to pass through that generates a list of everything on them, barring hidden or stealth items (a sleepy pen being identified as just a normal pen)

I'd suggest scanner goggles. It has two modes: detailed scan and cursory scan. The former spits out a generalized list of what the target is carrying. It has a few downsides though. It takes a moment to scan (only about a two or three seconds), so you can't move and neither can the target while its doing its work. It makes the visor light up bright green or something for a moment. It can't differentiate between the clowns trick revolver, a real revolver, or the Russian revolver or items that look the same. Cursory mode works when you attempt a scan and you move or your target moves. It'll only tell if they're carrying something in there pockets and backpack and if any of them are large and metallic so a pipe bomb registers the same as an oxygen tank in a backpack.

This also means you can be flashed since you can't wear sunglasses since they take an eye slot. EMP grenades and emags scramble the scanner so it'll never pick up traitor items. The chameleon projector or suit should allow you to spoof an items signature to fool the scanners.
