Before SATTSO says "told ya so", I'm not saying that TSO1973 should do his job perfectly, but at the least it would seem that someone doing a search is concentrating, to some extent, on what they're searching for. If you're patting someone down to find something that's (possibly) concealed, shouldn't you be aware of whether the area is question could conceal something? If you're patting down someone's bare arms, legs, feet, are you really thinking about what you're doing?
Suppose I'm driving down a street in the shopping district looking for a large department store, peering at building names or street numbers. If at some point I realize that all the buildings on both sides of the road, ahead of me and for the last six blocks, are suburban houses, wouldn't you think I'd stopped paying attention my search?
