@ biggie...no one is crying here...we unlike yourself are intelligent enough to understand our civil rights. The TSA violates our civil rights on a daily basis. If you want to sit around and let our elders and children be molested...strip searched even?? Then you have no right being in this country. My ancestors fought for my freedom...If you haven't yet noticed this is the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE....GOOD BYE!!!!

PLEASE ALL THOSE CRYING ABOUT THAT THIS ISN'T RIGHT, WILL BE THE FIRST TO CRY WHEN SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON. FLYING IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT. SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, SIMPLY DON'T FLY.

I fly into JFK about six or seven times a year. When I leave, I have a choice, either subject my body to repeated doses of radiation or submit to a "very thorough" pat down.

Everytime I go through this public intrusion into my privacy, I am reminded that it is occuring because members of the most vile and repubnant religion that the world has ever seen are trying to destroy our planes.

I also realize that the reason that we all stand in line and take off our jackets, belts, and shoes is that out government refuses to acknowledge what everyone in the country already knows. Grandmas in wheelchairs and six year old kids are not among the group who want to kill us.

no kid should be put through this...that I agree with...but TERRORISTS DON'T HESITATE USING KIDS AS PART OF THEIR PLAN TO KILL THOUSANDS...nobody should do that either. If my kid needs searched to give a plane full of passengers a little security, I make sure it's done in a non threatening/disturbing way and voice my annoyance a little, but I will also explain the necessity to my child. People want to feel safer, but don't want anything to affect their routine. Wake up! We ain't in Oz anymore, quit whining.

Did you even read the article, or watch the video ? The parent clearly asked the TSA agent, if the kid could just be scanned, instead of agressively searched and felt down, the TSA agent said "NO", so they didn't ask for their kid to be searched.

==============

George is absolutely correct. TSA is just another one of the jokes in our government. If it wasn't for the Democrats and Republicans/Tea Party in our Congress, they would be the worst.

Personally, I think the TSA agent used an impressive amount of sensitivity. She even remarked at the beginning that the child had "pretty hair" to attempt to make the child feel more comfortable. She explained everything in detail as she was doing it.

Yeah, I get the "good touching and bad touching" stuff, but I think even a six-year old gets that a person isn't going to be doing "bad touching" right in front of their mother. And the TSA agent made sure that the child knew her mother was right there.

I agree. If you don't like airport screenings for either you or your child, don't buy the ticket.

It's awfully nice that you feel your insecurity should result in a child being asked to submit themself to your violation of their decency. Let me guess. You lean far to the right. I hope you feel safer, Jay. The rest of us will just feel disgusted!

Passengers get scanned/patted down. If you don't want your child going through it, don't buy them a ticket.

===============

The former Sarge is scared and wants to strip search, and cavity search, your child. Where does it stop? We want the former Sarge to feel secure, don't we? Don't put our children through your political B.S.! Walk or swim, Sarge. I sure don't want to be in the fox hole with your candy ...
