If you're talking about 85 year old grandmas and 3 year old kids being screened in general, I disagree that this is profiling. This is a follow-up to the primary screening method or an alternate to the primary screening method if the 85 year old grandma is a pacemaker patient who cannot pass through the WTMD.
I was referring to the SSSS and secondary mainly. Isn't there a more targeted way to directly resolve the alarm rather than doing the whole secondary?
