I certainly hope the training includes hands-on practice, not just for the pax, but also because if you don't know what you're doing (and even if you do), you can really mess up your back trying to reach all parts of a wheelchair person's body while they are still in the chair.
I believe it is almost impossible to touch every body part of a person in a wheelchair, especially with an elderly person wearing incontinence products. "Spread your legs, Granny, so I can get my hand into your crotch and your butt crack"?
However, from a couple of posts we have read, individuals who can't comply with the requirements of NoS, get to walk on through WTMD without the enhanced pat down. Notice I wrote "can't" not "won't" - it seems that the only people who get the full monty are the refuseniks.
