Noticed this at YOW today. Basically you stand in the lineup, they check your BP, then you stand on a mat. The indicator will then flash an arrow pointing left or right. If it points right, you get a regular check. If it goes left, it's your lucky day - full pat-down after the metal detector. Since I have all the luck in the world, I of course was directed left. They also said that they aren't allowed to patdown if you're under 18. Any other airports participating in this or just YOW?
Had my first brush with this new technology today. It was like playing DDR: step on the mat, step off the mat. Step back on the mat. Step to the right.

Apparently the sensors aren't great; it took everyone a few tries of dancing around to get it to go off.

Hopefully it'll be yanked soon, it's just slowing things down.
