That's a full-body X-ray scanner, not related to the ones used at airports for security, though some airports have them for customs. Now, they're very low risk, because the actual radiation dose isn't much higher than a backscatter scan - the resolution of the image is ultra-low so they don't need to use nearly as much energy.
