wanding
Detector passes over
Wanding is the act of scanning someone with a handheld metal detector, typically at security checkpoints: Everyone entering the courthouse gets wanded.
The word comes from the detector's wand-like shape.
Security personnel wand individuals when the walk-through detector triggers or as an additional screening measure.
