They would check you for metals first

Never mind then. Though if they're going to use a metal detector on me, nothing in my home is going to conceal a paperclip.

Bro went from in my pocket to giving up. 😂 let me guess how high you are

You can guess if you'd like.

Straighten it, open an electrical box, and slip it into the wiring where the ground wire is. Metal detector wouldn't really find it, it would just blend in the the metals around it. It wouldn't be obvious, there would be no holes around it, you wouldn't need anything more than a butter knife to hide it. And if you were careful, your house wouldn't even burn down.

I wouldn't trust myself with that stuff. Also, if the detective has a dog, wouldn't the dog still be able to find it?

You touch your bathroom light switch every day. Why would it smell different?

Not the light, the paperclip.
