Security

Visitors are asked to enter through the magnetometer after placing personal items such as handbags, briefcases, portfolios, umbrellas and packages on a conveyor belt for x-ray inspection. Other smaller items such as coins, metallic jewelry, belt buckles, cell phones and PDAs should be placed in a basket before passing through the magnetometer. A hand scan and extensive pat down will be conducted if you alarm the metal detector or are referred to additional screening.
