Passenger Screening

Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., of Lake Mary, Florida, has introduced a passenger-screening device that uses passive millimeter wave technology to detect metallic and nonmetallic items concealed in a person’s clothing. SafeScreen detects liquids, explosives, weapons, drugs, and cash without emitting harmful radiation or energy, and without revealing anatomical detail of the person screened. The portal requires less space than currently deployed advanced imaging technology machines, and it screens passengers more quickly. Automated detection boxes assist the operator and reduce training requirements; objects that are hotter than the surface temperature of the subject are indicated by a magenta detection box, while colder objects are indicated by a blue box.
