Most of the airports in the US have some sort or chemical detector too. I always get my hands swapped going through PDX because I brought so scary looking circuit boards with my carryon 5 years ago.
It’s been a few years, but they are white round pads, probably 3 inches wide. I’m not sure what’s on the pad, probably a solvent of some kind.
The pads go in a machine about the size of an larger microwave oven which I believe uses NMR to scan for nitrates and other kinds of explosive residue.
It was a pair of highschool level sumo robots, lots of wires and motors and gears.

What do they swap them with?
Are they shipped separately?

In case you haven’t realised, the correct word is swab/swabbed. You are being made fun of for swapping the correct word for a different word.
I think you mean swabbing the correct word.
