Will walking through a metal detector harm my baby in any way? I need to go run an erand in this important office but they have the airport security type of thing going on. And I'm a little concerned.

I've read that the regular ones  - when you just pass through the "gates" and hand held are not harmful, those the new ones at the airport where you stand with your hands up in front of transparent wall and the machine scans you - potentially can be a bit harmful but it's sort of new, so no enough research has been done.
