If you were correctly referring to the guidelines set by the US Dept of Health and Human Services (the regulation body that looks over practicing clinics and labs), you are dead wrong. Nowhere in the guidelines state that this action is permitted.
However, the DHHS does authorize collectors to conduct a directly observed collection if a person has been suspected of cheating, making a pat-down totally unnecessary, anyway.
