About half the time, I am instructed to take a seat while they run ETD on the gloves, and then they come back and pat down the bottom of my feet while I am seated. But I have noticed this occurring less frequently as time goes on.

My experience is exactly the opposite. Generally when I try to walk through a WTMD en route to an opt-out, they stop me and re-direct me to a separate gate - intentionally preventing me from going through the WTMD.
I don't understand the "logic" or purpose of this maneuver. The only thing I can guess is that somehow, they have to designate WTMD = NOS = pat-down = equally valid screening methods, and somehow, letting me walk though the WTMD but still requiring a patdown would expose the fallacy.
Perhaps TSORon could comment?
