You're right, of course. I also noted (more sloppy reporting?) the reference to the metal detector alarming on the woman's breast area. ??? The WTMD doesn't alarm on specific areas (well, it does, but the operator doesn't have any way of knowing which area(s)), the wands aren't in use. The NoS will certainly 'alarm' on a breast, however.
