You'll be shocked what goes through the minds of some of those TSA agents.......pay attention to the media; there are some bad apples among them....proven time and time again.
Little kids don't need these pat downs nor do they need to be subjected to those Xray machines of high radiation doses, nor do they need to be drug tested. Little kids are not a threat to your airlines, your GOVT is! try that for size.
Get it through your thick heads.

I see most people have been irritated by this thread but you'd be surprised what people would put on children.I work at a maximum security state prison and everyone gets a pat down like this.This includes visitors and children.You wouldn't believe what some people will try to hide on their children.

In my opinion, the actual perverts are the people who perceive a pat down as anything sexual! Your mind has to be pretty f'd up if when you witness a pat down...the first thing you think is something sexual.

This isn't connected to terrorism, just an example of how people scheme.

The use of little kids are a threat to security. Why do you think even low level drug dealers hide their guns/drugs in their infants pampers and scrollers?
While I agree with the kid whole-heartedly, the movement of her eyes at several points in the clip seems to indicate she may be reading from a pre-prepared statement.
The morning this news broke I was listening to the outrage at a child being searched and for a moment I placed myself in the shoes of a terrorists. I concluded (playing the role of a terrorist) that Americans weakness is their kids. I would use children to smuggle what I want and to top it all off...when I wanted to strike terror into the hearts of Americans, I would bomb the largest daycare or school I could find.

How about a rational discussion centered around personal liberty?
Yeah, that is the issue here. Or more like, should government be involved in private airport security, and how far should it go, so that the passengers are not bothered by it too much? Are random searches OK or not?
If random searches are OK, then they are OK for ALL people in the airport (including children). If they are not OK, then they are not OK for ALL people in the airport, including adults.

Until I learn or feel that I/we are being subjected to some type of real harassment or disrespect, I say there's nothing to complain about other than being inconvenienced.
Given the number of posts you and a few other Mr.Men have made in defence of this vid I guess you won't complain about anything , you'd quite happily stand in a puddle of your own making than stand up for a child , what a man Good thing I got two things going for me that you don't have
Do you have a fear of small children ? is their a medical term for that , you know ,like Arachnophobia , is it something that can be treated ?
Keep telling the bogie man stories , keeps me entertained no end.

We all have a choice.
If I was her (a TSA agent) I'd have to kill my family first in order to cease the flawed DNA from continuing. All TSA agents are flawed humans with damaged DNA and should be culled. That would take a hero though and we know the TSA has none.
Then I'd go to work and kill as many as my co-workers as I could by whatever means possible before killing myself.
