“The new physical touching—for those selected to have a pat-down—will be be what the federal agency officially describes as a more ‘comprehensive’ physical screening, according to a TSA spokesman. The change is partly a result of the agency’s study of a 2015 report that criticized aspects of TSA screening procedures. That audit drew headlines because airport officers had failed to detect handguns and other weapons. An additional change prompted by the report was the TSA’s decision to end its ‘managed inclusion’ program, by which some everyday travelers were allowed to use PreCheck lanes to speed things up at peak times.”
