Bill, not only is Pistole (and Janet Napolitano) lying about what the Hopkins researchers said, but now he blames the “confusion” over frisking children was due to “miscommunication:”
We did not do frankly a very good job of communicating initially that there would be an exemption, if you will, from the thorough pat-down for children 12 and under. That was under review when the policy came out, and so we have clarified that. It does not apply to children 12 and under.
So, from what I can tell (Pistole’s communication is still “not clear”), children 12 and under will still get frisked, they just won’t have the genitals fondled the way that 13 year-olds will. Is that right, Johnny?
