Abstract

An advanced technology screening checkpoint system (10) includes a baggage screening zone (15), a passenger screening zone (20), and a secondary screening zone (25). The baggage screening zone may include an explosives scanning system (30) and an imaging system (35), while the passenger screening zone may include an explosives detection portal (40) and a self-divestment portal (45) to show passengers what to divest prior to screening by a high sensitivity metal detection portal (50). In some implementations, a secondary screening zone (25) includes a sealed-bottle scanning system (65), an enhanced explosives detection system (60), a weapons search routine (57), and a body scanning system (55). Centralized monitoring of screening results for individual detection and screening systems of the baggage, passenger, and secondary screening zones may be provided by a combined user interface (CUI) (242).
