Abstract

A passenger scanning system includes a passenger screening area configured for a person to enter and a shield surrounding at least a portion of the passenger screening area. The shield is configured to reduce a radio frequency interference within the passenger screening area. The passenger scanning system also includes one or more sensors positioned in the passenger screening area at a height configured to be proximate one or more of an abdominal region, a groin region, and a pelvic region of the entered person. The sensors are configured to generate a signal in response to a target substance located in the one or more of the abdominal region, the groin region, and the pelvic region.
