The inventive body scanner is used to screen persons entering a security controlled area for the presence of security threats hidden under the clothing, such as guns, knifes, explosives and contraband. In one embodiment the body scanner consists of three joined modules, a front module located anterior to the person, a rear module located posterior to the person, and a base module upon which the person stands. The front and rear modules are significantly taller than they are wide, thereby allowing scanning of the full height of a person while providing a narrow-width apparatus. The inherent instability of the tall narrow-width package is overcome by rigidly joining the front and rear modules to the base module. Thus, the Intention provides for a body scanner that is significantly less wide than the prior art. |
