I work at an adolescent treatment center (medium staff-secure facility) for teens (around 13-17) with behavioral problems. Not the behavioral problems like they get in trouble in school for minor things every day. The kind where a kid got mad and decided to beat someone over the head with a golf club.
Every day they are searched. Every day their rooms are checked. So back to the question of if I would allow a pat down. Hell yeah. I don't want to be stabbed, shot, maimed, or in any way harmed by some idiot with a blunt instrument.
