True but if You read the whole article You'll find
"The manual pat-down procedure will be used on passengers who refuse to be screened using the 317 new full-body image scanners deployed at 65 airports nationwide. The new technique may also be used on passengers who evoke suspicion when undergoing other traditional screening procedures, including walk-through metal detectors."
So if You acknowledge to use the body scanner You probably wont't be pat-downed.

Read today where Sikhs are up in arms because the TSA wants them to remove their turbans. Well I guess now there is no need to, the inspectors can just slide their fingers under the turban and roam around. *Gagging and stomach turning*
It makes sense to me seeing as how they want to know if I have something stashed away in my Victoria Secret,
I want to know if he has something stashed away in the bedsheet wrapped around his head.
