Pat down, hell, that's a freaking piece of bad theatrics.

Seen similar scenario's dozens of times. The thing I feel badly about is that many of the seniors get confused and upset about the process.
My Dad is 78, with two knee replacements. He still travels, my Mom goes through normal screening and he gets hand screened. The key is that he knows the gig, tells the TSA agent the scoop, so the process (although a bit of a pain...) isn't that daunting.
I guess the alternative is let everyone board without screening, and wait for the next disaster?
