If children would not be searched, they will be used for attacks. Terrorists are not stupid.
As for the pedophile or sexual remarks, the girl is being searched, not molested. If you see anything sexual in that, maybe you need to get checked.
People outraged because their child is being subjected to standard safety procedure at the airport they voluntarily stepped in. Only in America..

This is NOT about security. This is about the government sending a message that says 'We own you and we own your children'.
To the people saying this woman is 'just doing her job' . She may be doing her job but she has a choice. Personally I'd rather be homeless on the streets than a government sanctioned child toucher.
So how far should they go with the 'standard' security procedures. Will cavity searches be OK for everyone in the future?

You can presume what you like about me and call me whatever you like disguised with smiley emoticons but I wouldn't line my children up to receive this treatment.
I don't need to fear monger, the bizarre TSA scenarios and people's blind acceptance of them are scary enough.

Well. I see one area the government can cut and defund without blinking.
How pathetic is our country. I guess this is a way to indoctrinate the youth.
