282.0.6. As appropriate in the circumstances, security screening may include one or more of the following measures:
(1)  requiring passage through an upright metal detector;
(2)  submitting briefcases, handbags and personal effects to fluoroscopic or visual inspection;
(3)  conducting a pat-down frisk search or a search with a hand-held metal detector;
(4)  any other screening measure prescribed by joint ministerial regulation.
Once inside the building or part of the building, persons may be re-screened if a peace officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that the safety of users or the public is at risk or that a person is in possession of an object prohibited under section 282.0.2.
A pat-down frisk search may be conducted only if there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the person concerned is in possession of an object prohibited under section 282.0.2. A pat-down frisk search must be conducted by a person of the same sex as the person being searched, except in cases of necessity.
