what is a hand held metal detector

A hand-held metal detector (also written as handheld metal scanner) is a portable battery-powered security screening device. Security officers hold and sweep the detector over a person’s body to locate hidden metal objects. It is widely used together with walk-through metal detector gates for secondary inspection after passing the security archway.
