I was heard that all visitors need to pass through the x-ray machine before entering the Musee du Louvre. Since my wife is just pregnant and I definitely don't want her to go through such checking. Can anyone tell me if x-ray checking is complusory on human ?

I have been at a concert hall that required people to go through an induction loop detector. That is NOT an x-ray machine and has *no* risk to pregnant women or their foetuses.
I have never heard of any place anywhere using x-rays to screen people.

I assume it's the same sort of arrangement many stores have, here. They're designed to detect shoplifters trying to carry out merchandise that has not had its ID tag neutralized by the cash register scanner. However, they evidently are some variety of metal detector, since my key ring is always setting the damned things off! (Upon entering, as well as exiting.) I question how effective they are, since I have yet to have any of the store's personnel pay the slightest attention - even to the ones where a computerized voice tells me to return to the register with the merchandise!

I was also very shocked when people told me humans have to pass through x-ray scanner just like luggage. Actually I have phoned the museum but their answer is not firmed. I guess they may not fully understand my question. So I really need to verify.

Well of course if the idea really worries you, you want to be certain, but I'm quite sure they're the same "security gate" arrangement you have to pass through at airports, court houses, and even some schools, here in the U.S.A. (As well as the aforementioned stores.)
Thanks, I understand those induction loop detectors are very common everywhere, I don't know whether extra high security is applied on the Museums in Paris. It should be fine if human are only required to pass through the machines similar the ones in Airports. Thanks.

Gosh, an informative answer; you'll make several people here unwell.
