minus-squareCosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoDepends on how far in the body. Bluetooth works off of 2.4Ghz spectrum so water will limit its transmission ability. Surface is probably fine but inside a prison pocket will probably be troublesome.

minus-squaresocsa@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoI’m honestly more worried about choking. Anything larger than about 2cm is getting into high risk territory.
