Toqueteo

Spanish to English Other Other
Ustedes tienen una idea de como traducir la palabra "toqueteo".

Aparece en una oración que dice "el pasajero llega al área de seguidad para ser revisado entre radares, sensores y toqueteos". Es de un libro que habla de las experiencias y situaciones que pasan los pasajeros en un aeropuerto.

No estoy seguro si "touching" funcionaría como una sustantivo.

Gracias.

Toqueteo es algo negativo y con otras intenciones. El procedimiento en el aeropuerto le decimos “palpación”.

Is this a humorous text? All the dictionaries I looked at gave negative meanings for this word, like groping and fondling. I'm not sure it just means body search.

@Asker Why didn't you wait to see if anybody gives a better option, like mine?
