Claim 28:
29. A system to enhance security screening, comprising:
augmented reality (AR) equipment for use by a user to perform security screening on a target that has been scanned in a security scanner;
a camera system for monitoring an environment including the user and the target;
a computer system, including:
a processing system having a hardware processor configured to perform a predefined set of basic operations by loading corresponding ones of a predefined native instruction set of codes, the predefined native instruction set of codes constituting a set of instructions selectable for execution by the hardware processor;
a memory accessible to the processing system; and
an augmented reality (AR) interface controller under control of the processing system;

AR interface logic, stored in the memory, comprising a sequence of instructions selected from the predefined native instruction set of codes of the hardware processor, adapted to operate with the processing system and the AR interface controller to generate an AR interface adapted to incorporate scan results and display guidance for the user and confirmation of user actions;
guidance logic, stored in the memory, comprising a sequence of instructions selected from the predefined native instruction set of codes of the hardware processor, adapted to operate with the processing system to generate and display guidance for the user;
monitoring logic, stored in the memory, comprising a sequence of instructions selected from the predefined native instruction set of codes of the hardware processor, adapted to operate with the processing system to monitor actions carried out by the user;
a communication system, under control of the processing system, adapted to transmit information used by the AR interface logic, the guidance logic, and the monitoring logic;
the processing system being further configured to direct the AR interface logic, the guidance logic, and the monitoring logic to display the AR interface mapped to the target, determine guidance, display the guidance, monitor user actions, and display confirmation that the user has carried out the action.
