I think he's saying that failing an ETD isn't the only reason for that pat-down.

This has been discussed in great detail in at least three other threads.

I am not being a smart aleck. I really, really want to avoid it. If I can know what will set it off, I can proactively avoid it.
Unfortunately, so can "the bad guys", so I can understand why going into too many details on this issue might not be the best idea.
I think we can all come up with some possibilities. Off the top of my head:
- strongly positive ETD on certain substances (such as PETN) that people are unlikely to encounter but are used by terrorists.
- AIT image or standard pat-down showing something suspicious in the genital or breast area
