Answer

Could used medical equipment be a security risk in Mallorca?

Yes, used medical equipment can create blind spots if it is moved across borders without clear registration or inspection. The Palma case shows why sales channels, freight handling and second-hand trade in assistive devices deserve more attention. The risk is not the equipment itself, but the possibility that it can be altered and used for concealment.
