In its outward position the front wall is spaced from the first side wall. The cut-out zone has a perimeter sized and shaped to permit access to the operable front panel of the ATM when the front wall is in its inward position. Together the first side wall and the front wall define a first enclosure. A second side wall is connected to and extends inwardly from the front wall. When the front wall is in its outward position the second side wall extends between the first side wall and the front wall to provide a second enclosure space outward of and in communication with first enclosure space. A flexible shield, movable between a retracted and protracted position, is provided. The shield in its protracted position co…
