OPINION
PER CURIAM:
The judgment of conviction for importing heroin in a body cavity is reversed. We find that there was probable cause to undertake a strip search, but on the particular record before us a doctor should have been summoned. See Schmerber v. California (1966), 384 U. S. 757, 86 S.Ct. 1826, 16 L.Ed.2d 908.
