Which option best describes a quick, non-intrusive search of outer clothing to locate weapons?

• A. Limited exterior scan
• B. Pat down
• C. Pat-down after removal of clothing
• D. Full body search

Answer: (B)

A pat-down, or frisk, is the method used for a quick, non-intrusive search of outer clothing to locate weapons. It involves brief, skilled hand contact over the outside of clothing to detect concealed items without removing garments. This approach is designed to be fast and minimally invasive, focusing on safety by catching potential threats without a more invasive search.

Why this fits best: it matches the description of being quick and non-intrusive while specifically targeting objects concealed under or within outer clothing. The other options are either less precise, involve removing clothing, or are more intrusive and time-consuming, which isn’t consistent with a rapid safety check.
