In March 2004, my family of six was heading to Florida for spring break. At a ticket counter in the Atlantic City airport, my 8-year-old son was singled out for "secondary" or random screening. I knew it was absurd, but I didn't complain, figuring it was the small price we all have to pay post 9/11. Common sense told me it was a terrible waste of precious resources.

My (Now 8 year old) daughter has been pulled out twice for "random" screening. I could tell by the reaction of the TSA agents that they thought this was ludicrous, but they went ahead and made her stand to the side, arms out, while they passed the wand over her. She was 7 at the time..once at DFW, another at San Diego.

As sad as that is, this is the world we live in today. The next mother-murderer-bomber could be a recent convert who doesn't fit the profile and will gladly sent her child to Allah.
