Posted elsewhere, but I think it's worth being in this thread. From a screener posting on Fark.com, although the term
"Alarm Resolution Pat Down" only shows shows on FT for the moment on a Google search. Oopsie!
Any guesses what the acronym "SPD" stands for?
Here's the dealeo, if you alarm the WTMD for whatever reason, hip or knee replacement ie, and you are unable to divest enuff metal to clear with any further passes, you are now a recipient for a SPD.
We will pat down every inch of your bod and when we get to your mid section we will sliiiide a hand up your inner thigh til we "meet resistance" Exact wording.
Then, we swab our gloved hands and if they alarm, you then receive an "Alarm Resolution pat-down".
This is done by a Lead or a Sup. and is always done in a private screening area.
The only difference with this one is that when he/she gets to your "groin" area he/she is now going to turn his/her lil hands around and pass them over your "groin" area with the front of his/her hands 6 times. 3 across & 3 going down and then swab his/her hands again.
If they alarm again, well it gets a little gray after that.
