If anyone touched my daughter like that.. It would get very ugly for that person.

Those airports are criminals... I hope they sue them for sexual harassment on a minor..

I would post more but its not politically correct..

I've been brewing over this today...

its quite disgusting.

I read an interesting article in an aviation magazine last week about the failings of our aviation security system in America.

like a lot things America does in this department - its being horribly mismanaged and done completely bass ackwards.

I, as the parent, would have lost it, big-time!
This is uncalled for.

This bothers me as well, and I'm not even a parent.

Even so.....

"This conduct is in clear violation of TSA's explicit policy not to conduct thorough pat-downs on children under the age of 13," Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, said in a statement Wednesday.
If I were some insane jihadist who was willing to kill hundreds of innocent people, that is a huge loophole I would exploit. They've not been above strapping Semtex to children before, and in this application they could even have the option of removing a vacuum-sealed charge and non-magnetic detonator from the child's body after screening.

Not that I condone the TSA pat-downs of children, of course, or the way they do things in general, for that matter. There are better, less-intrusive ways to handle the situation.

Come on now. Be real. How many anglo saxon protestants do you see running around that are Jihadists willing to strap Semtex to their precious snowflake?

things come full circle.

America will be a free country again.

unfortunately several hundred thousand people will probably die the next time things come full circle for our country.

we give up and give up and give up more and more and more.

and one day - i swear to God - one day we will look up and there wont be a damned thing left.

And there lies the real root of the problem, Because one does not wish to offend in this PC poisoned world they cant go off of stereotypes even know stereotypes exist for a reason.

I don't remember where I saw it but I saw a skit once where a group of people were walking through airport security and a bunch of taliban walked through with Ak-47's, turbine's and RPG's and they waved them through then pounced on an old lady like wolves.

Could you tell me how you distinguish "anglo saxon protestant" from "Jihadist willing to strap Semtex to their precious snowflake"? I doubt terrorist would say "Yes I'm Jihadist" to airport security when questioned and I doubt even more that they would say "My Semtex is on my daughters private area".

Exactly! Apparently the TSA had cause to examine the girl more closely. IMO there's nothing wrong with that. Drugs and weapons are just as easy to hide on a kid as on an adult.

Don't want the risk of being frisked? Don't fly.

Funny how they used to call them 'private parts,' but now they're just 'sensitive parts...'

'Tis a brave new world we live in, hope the TSA is havin' fun!
