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?
They can be patted down if they are 6 and over with family. If they are under 16 they need an airline agent with them. The system sucks, we end up having to pat down kids. No one wants that and we feel dirty for do it.
