I like the way that they make it sound like it would have been impossible for the guy to get through security without being detected. I would attribute it more to "dumb luck". Of course anyone trying to conceal 6 baggies full of pills in their pants are going to be caught in a pat down. It was "dumb luck" that landed the guy in secondary screening though. Look at the thousands of people who walked through the same security station that day without a pat down.
