A new video documenting some of the more unpleasant tactics employed by the TSA has come to light. This time the video shows a 6 year old girl getting an extremely thorough full body pat down. I guess in case she has a shiv stashed somewhere on her person. You can never be too safe, right?
There is no conceivable way this is appropriate in my mind. Frankly the whole thing reeks of security theater. After all does any sane person really believe this little girl is hiding anything? Would it even be possible for her to hid something that requires such an aggressive pat down?

I can’t see that being done to adult passengers (unless there’s a clear suspicion) let alone a 6 year old girl.
Political correctness has over-shadowed common sense.
Thanks for the direct link.
That’s not a direct link. that links to a dana carvey sketch.
I am afraid of getting arrested for watching kiddie porn, just by viewing the way that agent went over that child. Surely any person on the street who did that would be arrested.
This is demented! PLEASE GOD SAVE US FROM THESE SATANIC STATIST!
Security is not why this is being done. This is simply more and very deliberate intimidation, nothing more. This is part of larger program of cowing the American population into submission. After a while, they hope (probably correctly) that most of the population will quit protesting the innumerable thefts of liberties. Death by a thousand pinpricks.
Remember that as this continues. Eventually we will be semi zombies that submit to any intrusion meekly while hoping to not be singled out. Think East Germany and police state.
I can see it if it was a muslim child ~~ as they will burn their own.

I am so grateful that this was not happening when my son was young and flying to his Dad’s. I do not know how he or I would have reacted. I might still be in jail!
I remember when this was a free country.
Welcome to the USSA, comrades.
The whole pat-down routine keeps no one safer. Per actor James Woods, on the Tonight Show on 9/11/2006, FBI agents told him that boxes of exacto knives were taped to the bottom of airline seats on 6 additional planes left on the tarmac by the airspace shutdown on 9/11. James Woods had witnessed a dry run by the hijackers on a Boston-L.A. flight some time previously. He was able to identify two of the future 9/11 hijackers from photographs. Why was there no criminal investigation of airline crews on United, Delta, and American? Probably because Norm Mineta was in charge.
” Boycott air travel. “ ==================================
What? Americans boycott an invasion of privacy in exchange for “safety”? We have changed to much for that. We’re all liberals now. Of course you are right.
The little girl is one thing, but grown adults tolerating this is MUCH worse and the real scandal. The little ones will grow up well indoctrinated that there is no such thing as privacy and will be eager to trade it for “safety” since they don’t know what it is anyway. Americans are just to pooped to defend themselves I guess.
The cultural suicide of America continues.......
Uncle Sam is now a child molestor.
We’d be better off simply banning all air travel than allowing this type of sexual abuse of our children to occur.
She looks like a terrorist!
