'Do you have any sensitive areas?' followed by an actual response and acknowledgement by the screener.
Pat down done as in other countries ie thorough but professional, with a light back of the hand on the buttock but no hands touching the top of the inner thigh, labia (or I assume) penis. Quick back of the hands around breasts. No hands up skirts, no pulling down or out of underwear, no peering into clothing.
Just a quick, professional pat down without commentary or remarks.
