Airport pat-downs often ineffective security stop
Airport security screeners are rarely allowed to pat down suspects. The screeners greatest fear is not finding an explosive device, but being accused and sued for molestation.
Even so, airport security screeners are not allowed to touch women's breasts and men's groin area. Which means a cross dressing suicide bomber could pack a lot of explosives. Or a faux male porn star could explain that he is large in the groin area because that is his tool of the trade.
So what is the point of a pat down, if a security screener can't touch a person everywhere a bomb might be hidden?
