I have also observed this (full frisk to resolve an anomaly like a boarding pass in the pocket).
eyecue, I understood a full patdown after a WTMD alarm - you had no way of being sure where the alarm was coming from or if there were multiple sources that were alarming (coins in pocket and knife strapped to leg).
But why do you do a full frisk when the NoS operator observes an anomaly in the right front shirt pocket area?
