Spanish term or phrase: Toqueteo
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.
