Personal identification verification and controlled substance detection and identification system

Abstract

A personal identification and security system including a personal identification verification system, a controlled substance detection and identification system and an alarm indicator responsive to outputs of the personal identification verification system and the controlled substance detection and identification system for providing an alarm indication in response to fulfillment of alarm criteria in at least one of the outputs.

1 . A personal identification and security system comprising: 
 a personal identification verification system;    a controlled substance detection and identification system; and    an alarm indicator responsive to outputs of said personal identification verification system and said controlled substance detection and identification system for providing an alarm indication in response to fulfillment of alarm criteria in at least one of said outputs.    
   
   
       2 . A personal identification and security system according to  claim 1  and wherein said personal identification verification system is a biometric information comparison system.  
   
   
       3 . A personal identification and security system according to  claim 1  and wherein said controlled substance detection and identification system is a spectroscopic controlled substance detection and identification system.  
   
   
       4 . A personal identification and security system according to  claim 3  and wherein said spectroscopic controlled substance detection and identification system is a laser activated spectroscopic controlled substance detection and identification system.  
   
   
       5 . A personal identification and security system according to  claim 1  and wherein said personal identification verification system and said controlled substance detection and identification system perform personal identification verification and controlled substance detection and identification substantially simultaneously.  
   
   
       6 . A personal identification and security system according to  claim 1  and wherein a person having their identity verified by said personal identification verification system is unaware of the presence of said controlled substance detection and identification system.  
   
   
       7 . A personal identification and security method comprising: 
 providing personal identification verification;    simultaneously detecting and identifying controlled substances;    providing an alarm indication in response to fulfillment of alarm criteria in at least one of said providing personal identification verification and said detecting and identifying controlled substances.    
   
   
       8 . A personal identification and security system according to  claim 7  and wherein said providing personal identification verification comprises providing biometric based personal identification verification.  
   
   
       9 . A personal identification and security system according to  claim 7  and wherein said detecting and identifying controlled substances comprises spectroscopically detecting and identifying controlled substances.
