Tsa Pat Down Procedures
As we’ve discussed before,TSA’s screening procedures change regularly based on the latest intelligence. Pat-downs have long been one of the many security measures TSA and virtually every other nation has used in its risk-based approach to help detect hidden and dangerous items such as explosives like the one we saw in the failed terrorist attack last Christmas Day.Pat-downs are primarily used to resolve alarms that occur at a walk-through metal detector,if an anomaly is detected during screening with advanced imaging technology (AIT), or during random screening.If one of those situations arises,you will be given a pat-down before you're able to continue on to your flight.Pat-downs are also given to passengers who opt out of screening by AIT or walk-through metal detectors.There’s nothing punitive about it-it just makes good security sense.And the weapons and other dangerous and prohibited items we’ve found during pat downs speak to this.
