Now there is another pat-down that covers most areas of the body, and includes a back of the hand on the backside and back of the hand close to the zipper region - and running the hand up the inside of the thigh. Most of you are not familiar with this pat-down, but it has basically exist since the beginning. You did not receive this pat-down for alarming the WTMD. You received this pat-down for refusing the WTMD. This pat-down is now used for those who refuse the WBI (thus those who refuse the WBI will NOT have their genitals patted down - though back of the hands will come very close, and as I said this is NOT new).

And btw, TSOs are NOT even trained on the enhanced pat-down. So if a TSO patted you down, you did not receive the enhanced pat-down.

Hope this helps some.
