ridiculous. i'm always so appalled at these stories.

i can understand that the TSA's rule structure sucks and is murky and vague as fuck, but just because every tiny little scenario isn't outlined in the handbook doesn't excuse a lack of common sense. it's a CHILD.

My daughter is flying with her dad in July. Gah. This makes me *very* unhappy. And wth, even if you 'have' to pat down a four year old (wtf) - the least you could do is take one minute to have the parent explain and not work the child into hysterics and then act as if you're the hurt party.

Fuckheads.

TSA, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Porno scan or government sanctioned grope! Your choice, or sometimes both!

It's worse than you think

Have you ever SEEN Wichita airport security? It's small. There is only one line in (unless they added a second one) and it was only 12 gates maybe? so sneaking something past security is pretty damned difficult. It's also a QUIET airport as in the TSA agents aren't routinely distracted by much of anything cept the few who trip the metal detector.

NO Reason At All to pat down a kid. I've flown through there quite a few times.
