So how can contacting a TSA employee by phone, e-mail or in person answer the question?
But since "it is not a secret" answer us this.
A special needs person, wearing an adult diaper, goes through the AIT. If there are contents in the adult diaper, how exactly will he be cleared?
Nice try at a trick question. Can I ask you annuinest question, do you or someone you know wear adult diapers? Honest answer please. Or are you just looking for something to find fault with?
Here is the problem with your question (and there is an answer or I should say many multiple answers): what kind of contents? How much contents? What kind of garnet is being worn above the diaper? How tightly/loose does that garnet fit the person? Is the garnet skirt, pants, shorts, etc. How well can we see the contours of the body under eat the clothing? I could go on....and each variable changes how that person may be or may NOT be screened.
You also seem to be making assumptions regarding the WBIs. What do they say about assumptions...?
However, usually what you ask will result in no additional screening. Why should it? Let's imagine the contents are liquid, or almost entirely so. Wet clothing is no problem for the WBIs. If so, every passenger rained on would receive a pat-down. Spill your drink on your pants before you go through the WBI, no problems.
Again, you seem to be making assumptions about the WBI. But that's ok. Personally, I believe you and others here will never be happy with them. So feel free to be critical of what I have written.
And have a great day!
