A bit hard to get a weapon in.
Isn't that the drug detection thing?
Some silly security person insisted on doing that to me when I passed through the line with 3 x almost two year olds, the resulting fiasco was enough to deafen the whole airport. (after having to remove them from the pram and make them (attempted anyway) walk through the detector alone. All 3 refused unless I was on the other side waiting.......

No, metal detectors look for weapons; dogs look fro drugs + explosives, X-rays look for everything.

There were cases of women smuggling drugs in baby prams, one even in the baby's nappy.

The wand they run over your clothing is for the drugs and explosive residue, I am sure? well almost. The pram/pusher/stroller had to be folded and put through the machine along with the nappy/diaper bag.
Edited to say: this one, so not drugs.
As part of the screening process, a sample of people are selected to undergo testing using an explosive trace detection machine. Security screening officers are required to choose people for this process on a random basis. No profiling is used in selecting people for explosive testing.
