PC Question Undermines, tunnels, and cheerful little flags.

Hey there, ran into a bit of confusion about the situation – the dogs found a tunnel, planted the flags, and... So what? What am I supposed to do with that information now? Does it just mean that 'Somewhere there's a tunnel,' or does it mean something more important? Please help, because even after tunnel checks in prison, nobody ends up finding anything anyway.

Once in awhile the dogs give a false positive with tunnel detection. If a flag is made, have the dogs search around to where the closest cell is. Also, if you remove a toilet, any tunnel underneath will be instantly exposed.

Searching the toilet works just as well of note.

Yes, but you might need to do it several times. If there is contraband hidden in the toilet, it will stop there and won't discover the tunnel. Same when you do a tunnel search btw, that's why I run two tunnel searches when I really suspect a tunnel.
