A container screener apparatus that uses container barcode (e.g. Universal Product Code) scanning, and one or more container and/or container content property measurements (e.g. photograph, description, weighing, acoustic measurement), and container comparison data stored in a database to determine
A container screener apparatus that uses container barcode (e.g. Universal Product Code) scanning, and one or more container and/or container content property measurements (e.g. photograph, description, weighing, acoustic measurement), and container comparison data stored in a database to determine if a container passes or fails a container screening based on predetermined pass/fail criteria.

I claim: 1. An apparatus for detecting container alteration comprising: A. a container screener comprising a. a UPC code scanner for scanning a UPC code on a container and providing information for the UPC code; b. one or more measurement units for providing one or more measured container parameter
I claim: 1. An apparatus for detecting container alteration comprising: A. a container screener comprising a. a UPC code scanner for scanning a UPC code on a container and providing information for the UPC code; b. one or more measurement units for providing one or more measured container parameters selected from the group consisting of temperature, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties; B. a database containing stored container parameter data related to a plurality of UPC codes; C. a computer, wherein the computer a. retrieves the UPC code information from the scanner; b. retrieves stored container parameter data in the database related to the UPC code information; c. retrieves one or more measured parameters of the container related to the UPC code information; and d. determines whether the one or more measured container parameters is within a predetermined limit of the respective one or more database stored container parameters; and e. provides a signal of the determination; and D. an indicator, wherein the indicator indicates to a user whether a container passes or fails the container alteration detection. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising two or more measurement units for measuring two or more of the following parameters selected from the group consisting of weight, temperature, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising three measurement units and wherein the measured container parameters are weight, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties. 4. An apparatus for screening a container comprising: a. a bar code scanner for scanning a bar code on the container; b. a measurement unit for measuring one or more of temperature, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties associated with the container; c. a database for storing at least one pre-selected parameter data for the container; d. a computer operationally connected to the bar code scanner, measurement unit, and database, wherein the computer retrieves data from scanner, measurement unit and database and compares the pre-selected data from the measurement unit and database; e. an indicator operationally connected to the computer for indicating to user the result of the computer comparison. 5. The apparatus according to claim 4, comprising two or more measurement units. 6. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the measurement unit measures two or more of the following parameters selected from the group consisting of temperature, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties. 7. The apparatus according to claim 4, comprising three measurement units. 8. The apparatus according to claim 7 wherein the measured parameters are weight, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties. 9. A method for screening a container comprising: a. scanning a bar code on the container; b. measuring at least one preselected parameter associated with the container selected from the group consisting of temperature, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties; c. retrieving from a database at least one stored preselected parameter for the container that is equivalent to the measured parameter for the container, and that is associated with the scanned bar code; d. comparing the at least one preselected parameter from the container measurement and the equivalent parameter stored in the database; e. indicating to a user if the comparison in step d is within selected limits. 10. The method according to claim 9, comprising two or more preselected parameters. 11. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the two or more preselected parameters are selected from the group consisting of weight, temperature, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties. 12. The method according to claim 9, comprising three or more preselected parameters. 13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the preselected parameters are weight, acoustic properties and electromagnetic properties.
