The TSA is changing the way agents do pat-downs, and traveler reaction has been mixed.
The agency's website says officers can now use the back of their hands to pat down "sensitive areas" of the body.
The TSA can also use the fronts of their hands on "limited cases."
The agency has gotten some criticism about the changes, so it is notifying police departments in case passengers file reports against the TSA.
A spokesperson says the new method doesn't involve checking extra body parts. Agents believe this will help keep travelers safe.
