security gates/controls
Explanation:
I get the impression that the Silvia is after a general phrase to describe the security facilities, rather than for the actual machines.

security screening booth


Explanation:
This I think is what they mean; the basic element is called an "AMD" by the British Airports Authority, for "Archway Metal Detector", but of course there is a little more to it than that...
It's what you go through when you leave the "land-side" of an airport to go "airside", into the departure lounge.

security checkpoint


Explanation:
It's what the TSA calls them (e.g. link), and they ought to know.

I have also seen Brit usage as well.
