Differences:
Walk thought metal detector only, so shoes and belt stay on (unless you know it sets the detector off), no need to empty pockets of non-metallic objects.
Some types of shoes will need to be x-rayed, but officers will politely tell you and provide slippers to use will you wait.
Outerwear, jackets etc. and liquids bag into a tray. Laptops AND ipads/tablets out and remove all cases (TSA cases are not approved here) and into a tray.
You will be treated with politeness and respect. Officers will give instructions without shouting using english and body language. Your items will be well treated as they pass into the machine.

If flying on US-carrier to USA, you may get additional US-style searches at the gate from airline-employed security guards.
