This apparatus and method allows collection concentrated sample of content in shipping packages without unsealing the package by forcing airflow via existing hidden gaps ( 101 ) or, if necessary, creating one by a small incision. The air is injected into the hidden gaps by either probe ( 114 ) or socket device ( 138 ) to disturb and agitate contents inside the package, causing the contents to loosen and blend particulates on the surface into the air stream. Airborne particles ( 135 ) are channeled into detection device ( 134 ), where the particulates are concentrated. Display and warning apparatus ( 137 ) receives and records the analysis results from detection device ( 134 ). If the analysis finds that predetermined selection and sensitivity criteria for target hazard or contraband is met, then the warning apparatus initiates appropriate alert protocols.
