South African scientists on Tuesday injected radioactive material into live rhino horns to make them easier to detect at border posts in a pioneering project aimed at curbing poaching.

Yeah. I doubt that's the deterrent they think it is.
The point is to make them detectable so border patrol can find them.
With multiple R200 forms, you can get anything through the border unfortunately. The biggest issue is the Kruger National Park crosses over into our neighbouring countries, so when the anti poaching units are chasing poachers once they reach the invincible border in the park they are not allowed to engage further, or that’s the last I heard one of the big loop holes where. Hope they will one day fix this

Yes, I’d like to have radioactive shit injected into my teeth, to deter the tooth fairy…

Can I pick up my teeth from the evidence room after the trial?
