They way babies are wrapped going through airports, it IS possible they just thought it was a bundle of blanket in the carrier. One month babes are wee things. The grandmother was daft to say the least. I'd cut the checker some slack.

WOW, talk about inconsistency.

I must always shed the shoes and typically there is one running the cattle chute, one watching you partially disrobe, one watching the x-ray monitor, one working the metal detector, and one (or usually more) on the exit side of the scanner to conduct 'spot wandings'

This has been the case for me at PHL, Logan, San Diego, Honolulu, SeaTac, and Brunswick ME

Was this the Gram's first trip on an airplane??? Where were the parents? Geeeesh. What lousy reporting....

Is Chronic Radiation an Effective Prophylaxis Against Cancer?

What is the general freeper appraisal of the average intelligence of the screeners they hire?

They often make the folks at DU seem reasonably intelligent by comparison.

[RedRightReturn]

Duly noted, but to put it ALL on someone who may not have known any better is unsat.

Then to refer to her as and idiot??? Ignorant, yes...idiotic, no. Accidents happen.

But someone who's job it is to watch this evolution and recognize the contents, dropped the ball. I find the screener much more culpable.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Well, if you fly out of Las Vegas or New York City they make you shed most everything, especially your shoes.

[RedRightReturn]

UGH ... and my grammar and usage is no better :-)

" I don't think she understands COMMON SENSE."

Hence my tagline. Sadly, the screeners at the airport don't seem to have much common sense either.

[Revolting cat!]

Baby following treatment.

Zee language of loove?

[nhoward14]

Clearly the baby had less than 1 ounce of fluid in its diaper as it was allowed on-board and not placed in checked luggage.

She's not necessarily old.

"We don' knaw we hef to hev insurance.

We don' knaw we hef to hef driver license.

We don't knaw we hef to or should hef car seats.

We don' knaw we cannot or should not put our ninos through the xray machine."

[Kirkwood]

"I've never had to put my shoes in the bin."

You don't really fly, do you?

[1rudeboy]

Not since the London "shampoo" scare, I realized.

[reagan_fanatic]

"Get your ass to Mars!!"

[SampleMan]

NOBODY? watches bags going INTO the machine?

Why would you? There are only 10,000 signs telling you what not to put through. Although I concede I've never seen a sign that say, "Do NOT put Baby in Here!"

I wonder how the rads measure up to a normal x-ray? Not that junior needs one.

I think Grammy just lost visiting privileges.
