A personnel security screening and control system includes a screening
center having a threat screening system incorporating a sample collector
and a sample analyzer. The sample collector obtains a threat sample from
the subject which is subsequently analyzed by the sample analyzer to
determine whether the individual represents a potential threat. The
overall system also incorporates a demographic screening system including
a demographic collector and a demographic analyzer. The demographic
collector obtains a demographic indicator which is subsequently analyzed
to determine a particular demographic of the subject. The screening
center provides an interactive system for determining whether a subject
has encountered or handled a substance that may pose a potential threat,
e.g., explosives, and also presents targeting advertising or other
information to the subject.
