If it's anything like Vancouver it's basically the same setup as an airport: empty your pockets, remove shoes, belts and anything metal, put everthing in trays (I can't remember if they xray the trays or just inspect them), walk through a metal detector and then scramble to put everything back on, take an elevator up and then do the whole thing again :) [When I came back with my medical results I was smarter, didn't put everything back on until after I was through the second set of detectors :)]

I'm virtually certain you don't walk through any xray anything, and the metal detector, as I understand it, is safe for pregnant women. I'm also pretty sure they can wand you if you're nervous about the walkthrough detector.

Soonenough is correct. They only x-ray the trays - they don't x-ray you. You walk through a metal detector.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
