The officer requires reasonable suspicion NOT probable cause. Probable cause is required to ARREST not to detain and possibly pat down.
One of the downsides of internet lawyering is that not everyone really understands the rules even if they are otherwise intelligent.
I consider myself reasonably intelligent and read a bit about anatomy, but I'm not presumptuous enough to tell a medical doctor about the human body on the internet.
YMMV.

Dude....why?
If you're gonna' sit there and throw sound reason at every erroneous post then I guess I'll have to find another place to post.
I mean, obviously it's the only way I'm gonna' get away with passing off BS as nice shiny facts....and I've got plenty to move!
