The agent informed me that the bodyscanner had been triggered because something was in my shirt pocket (it was my credit card) so they would have to do a physical search. He then said there is a new process and not all TSOs are trained on it so I would have to wait while he got a supervisor to ensure it was being done properly.
The process was that he locked his hands together and rubbed them across my thigh and groin going first horizontally and then vertically so a total of 6 or 8 times to go all the way across. Not sure what this really achieved other than embarrassment for all parties as the bodyscanner had not been triggered in that area of my body.

Back of the hand.
