Pat searches are conducted on which individuals?

Only inmates Only staff All visitors Any person unable to clear the metal detector and on a random basis for other visitors

Correct Answer:

Any person unable to clear the metal detector and on a random basis for other visitors

Explanation:

Pat-down searches are a security screening method used to detect weapons or contraband as people enter restricted areas. The metal detector is used first, and if someone cannot clear it or it alarms, they must undergo a pat-down. In addition to those requiring a pat-down due to failure to clear the detector, staff may perform pat-downs on a random sample of other visitors to deter smuggling and maintain ongoing security. This rule applies to everyone entering the facility, not just inmates or staff. So, pat-downs are conducted on anyone who cannot clear the metal detector and on a random basis for other visitors.
