Exactly. As the video of the little boy being screened shirtless shows, even a child can alarm and trigger a patdown.

I wonder what SOP is supposed to be if a parent/child-in-arms pass through the WTMD and alarm? If the parent is travelling alone (no one to hand the infant off to), then presumably both will still require a hands-on frisk now that the wands are gone.
