The Vehicle Density Scanner is not considered a Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) risk-targeting technology tool. NII technologies are designed to facilitate the inspection of vehicles and cargo without physically opening them, thereby speeding up the process and enhancing the efficiency of inspections.

The other options, such as the Mobile Truck X-Ray System, Heavy Pallet Examination System, and Rail VACIS, utilize advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays or gamma rays, to non-intrusively inspect cargo and detect anomalies or contraband. These tools are essential in ensuring security at borders and ports by allowing inspectors to analyze and assess the contents of vehicles or cargo without disrupting the flow of goods and traffic.

In contrast, a Vehicle Density Scanner is typically used to analyze the flow and concentration of vehicles in a particular area, rather than for inspecting the contents of vehicles for security risks. This distinct focus on vehicle flow rather than cargo inspection is why it does not fit within the category of NII risk-targeting technology tools.
