I'd like to know the success rate of TSA personnel actually finding something when they do a patdown:

- first off during simulations when they know they are being tested, let alone:
- when faced with a line of angry, clueless holiday travelers and children, all while they are on the 2nd to last hour before their shift ends.

Using the back of your hands till you meet resistance seems hardly good enough to find anything, yet good enough to be creepy and invasive.
