I received a back pat down 2 weeks ago in Redmond, OR. My husband received on in Atlanta, GA last Friday. In Redmond it was a female TSA and she checked my back and the lady behind. I am not sure if others backs were patted down or not. In Atlanta, I went through and was not subjected to the back pat down. My husband followed me and had his back patted down...it was a male TSA agent. So I am wondering what this new "back pat down" is all about and if it has to be female-female and male-male.
