Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system for screening the content of the air proximate to a target for the presence of one or more illicit substances by using a chemical detector, a metal detector and a radiation detector all houses within a portable detection unit that may be carried by hand to detect threat substances on a target. The system also comprises a support module that is coupled either wirelessly or though a conduit to the portable detection unit to support the operations of the portable detection unit by proving processing and analysis of the detected results and power. The system also comprises a vacuum source for drawing air proximate to the target into the portable detection unit for vaporization and analysis. The vacuum source may be within the support module and drawing air through a hose in the conduit, or may be within the portable detection unit itself. The system may be used by passing the portable detection unit over or near to a target in a manner similar to airport metal detectors.
