I noticed this yesterday. It takes substantially longer to get through security this way. My scan took 15 seconds, and it was followed by a "delayed" patdown. The guy sat there and waited and told me to "Standby for further instructions", and then proceeded to pat down my leg. Isn't the point of the full body scan to not have a patdown????
