  • Automated passenger screening system
    Patent number: 7383719
    Abstract: A screening system for screening passengers is disclosed. The system includes a floor grating having underlying rotating brushes that are installed in access ways at public venues (e.g., doors, turnstiles, escalators, etc.). As each passenger steps on the grating, the rotating brushes remove traces of material from the soles of that passenger's shoes and the material is analyzed for the presence of CBRNE agents via appropriate local detectors.
