"Alright. You can board your flight, now."
"Flight? What flight? Pat me down again,
only without the gloves this time."

Maybe I'm over reacting ? I would have no problem submitting myself for a pat down, I support a high level of security, but I feel invasive touching of Children crosses the line, unless credible evidence exists.
On 12/30/15 TSA ordered a full Pat Down of my 10 year old daughter & detained us for over an hour (see YouTube video of the Pat Down, the link is below)
TSA policy states PAT Downs of children under 12 should be method of last resort.
In my 10 yr old daughter's case, after clearing metal detector, a forgotten Capri Sun juice pack was found in her hand bag by x-ray & agent swabbed bag resulting in a false positive.
Rather than retesting bag or alternate screening methods, my daughter was immediately ordered to submit to a full body Pat Down, and I was told I could not record the process. Luckily I knew the law regarding video recording and agent subsequently allowed me to record.
TSA policy states children under 12 will receive a "Modified Pat Down" yet my 10 year old received a full adult pat down. I feel it was intrusive, invasive, and unnecessary.
TSA made it clear I would be arrested if I resisted the search of my daughter.
TSA attempted to persuade me to allow my daughter into a private room, I felt safer with the general public surrounding us and refused several efforts to whisk us away.
TSA agent repeatedly touched my daughters buttocks and other sensitive areas with her palm & fingers not back of hand.
Black TSA agent privilege.
But they sell CANS of tuna beyond checkpoints.
Pehaps
They would probably pay to work for the TSA.
Did you watch the video?
nope- it’s agin the spelling rules- but it’s not misspelled- it was a double time groping- so hence the need for two ‘p’s’
His*
I have an idea.
I’m going to scout out the TSA checkpoint. See which line had the best looking female TSA screeners.
Swallow 3 Viagra.
Wait 5 minutes.
Get back in line.
Refuse the x-ray, tell them that I’m really a female cross-dressing as a male, and demand a physical search!

The flaw in your plan...
We were at an airport recently, and an Asian man and his two children were hurrying toward the airport entrance. One of the children was carrying a toy machine gun. They went into the airport. A few minutes later, they came out. The boy still was waving his toy around. Dad went back to car and left the toy in the car. It was interesting.
That is why I don’t fly. If you choose to fly, rest assured that at some point in time you get to know a TSA Agent’s finger intimately.
Yes the Israelis know what they are doing. They don’t waste time being PC.
At what point did the parent cop an attitude? That will generally garner extra attention. But here, there were two triggers - the juice box followed by the positive on the explosives screen. Sloppy parenting, or a parent that was trying to trigger a response.
Did you watch the video? The child was damn near molested you are hung up on spelling? Get a life.
LOL
Ten year old White girls are the most dangerous demographic so this was very reasonable. (((sarcasm))).
Training children to grow up into good submissive sheep.
Could be. Remember the flying Imams? They made bank.
