agree  Pundora: मेरे विचार में, इसमें स्पर्श करना, हाथ सरकाना, थपकी देना या दबाना सभी कुछ शामिल हैं।

agree  sonia meher: This seems to be the closest equivalent of the source word. However i wonder that can we use the word "Tatolna" with "Shareer"? How wud it be if we say "Tatolkar talaashi lena"? Anyways, i found ur translation most appropriate. Good work

छूकर तलाशी, थप्पी लगाकर तलाशी


Explanation:
Somehow the word used by Arun टटोल doesn't seem hundred percent correct although I have agreed with his answer. It means grope and can have unintended meanings.

An alternative could be छूकर तलाशी which translates to search by touching.

The second version थप्पी लगाकर तलाशी is a literal translation of pat-down search and is therefore a bit ungainly and awkward.

जामातलाशी


Explanation:
Pat-Down Inspection

A pat-down inspection complements the hand-wand inspection. In order to ensure security, this inspection may include sensitive areas of the body. Security Officers are rigorously trained to maintain the highest levels of professionalism. You may request that your pat-down inspection be conducted in private.


Example sentence(s):
  • भारत के पूर्व रक्षामंत्री जॉर्ज फ़र्नाडिस की दो बार अमरीका यात्रा के दौरान जामातलाशी हुई।
  • अमरीका यात्रा के दौरान जामातलाशी ली गई.दोनों बार तलाशी डलास एयरपोर्ट पर हुई।

agree  Balasubramaniam L.: The term जामातलाशी translates to inspection of clothes, which is not exactly the same as pat-down inspection, but a near thing.

  -> धन्यवाद. आप ठीक कह रहे हैं, यह बहुत पुराना परंतु नज़दीकी शब्द है. मैंने जो उदाहरण के वाक्य दिए हैं उनसे यह स्पष्ट है कि हिंदी पत्रकारिता में भी इसी शब्द का प्रयोग हो रहा है।

प्येट-डाउन निरीक्षण or शरीर-स्पर्शद्वारा निरीक्षण


Explanation:
it is better to to use "Pat-down" for "pat-down" in Hindi too. However, for the conservative people, I have given a conservative alternative as well.

Example sentence(s):
  • प्येट-डाउन निरीक्षण के लिए आयें ।
  • आप का शरीर-स्पर्शद्वारा निरीक्षण करने जा रहे हैँ हम ।
