During the COVID-19 pandemic, BCAS issued revised security guidelines to minimize physical contact and enhance hygiene measures at airports. Measures stipulated included ensuring smooth passenger flow with social distancing markers (Option A), requesting passengers to divest metallic objects before DFMD to reduce the need for pat-down (Option B), and sanitizing screening trays (Option D). However, carrying out 100% Pat down search during PESC (Passenger Security Check) was explicitly *not* stipulated. Instead, guidelines aimed to *minimize* physical pat-downs, relying more on technology and modified procedures, and conducting pat-downs only when essential and with precautions.
