frisked
Checked for weapons
Frisked is the past tense of frisk.
To frisk someone is to run your hands over their body and through their clothing, searching for concealed weapons or contraband: The officer frisked the suspect before putting him in the car.
Frisk also means to move about playfully—a puppy frisks around the yard—though this sense is less common.
