OMG– This was horrific. And, this actually occurred in the United States. TSA screeners accosted a little 3 year-old coming through the airport. The poor little girl kept screaming, “Quit touching me!”

*Did* you watch the video?? The TSA agent felt up the kid’s arms and legs and quickly patted down her abdominal area, then backed off. The *mom* was the one grabbing the kid’s crotch when she picked up.
The kid was having a tantrum. Understandable for a three year old. The TSA agent was being as quick as possible. The mom was helping as best as she could.
Yeah well, I probably would have taken away in chains after seeing that, and responding.
That video is a couple of years old.
Actually Beck would be #1 on my list, and I'm not someone who watches his show anymore. He has the best chance of blowing the whole TSA up.

Regardless of the inconveniences to everyone, TSA is doing what they are supposed to do. My buddy is one and I was almost one if I had been willing to move from Michigan to Fla.............
We've all seen all the bad incidents that people were more than willing to record but very seldom are we shown or told of the positives that come from TSA searches..........
Al Qaeda didn't need to take away our freedoms, the US Gov't is doing the job for them. We know basically who the enemy is, what mosques they go to, and what countries they are from - yet it is normal Americans who are treated like prisoners

LOL!
No, I didn’t watch it. I had seen a similar video a couple days ago. The child was hysterical...This whole business is so revolting.
Touching or not, terrifying children in this manner is horrifying. Parents that will in anyway allow this are dispicable.
what... no cavity search???
Agreed. It’s apparent that the terrorists have succeeded after all.
So much for “Dont touch my NoNo Square”
And looking for the child they will use for their next attack.
I blame Obama for lots of things, but the Bush admin gave us the TSA.
Some of these government workers really have gotten swelled heads. No way did they think that a 3-year old girl was conceling a weapon.
If anything supports basic libertarian principles, this does.
Pretty bad when a three year old is the who is saying this is wrong.
If she understands this is wrong, where does that leave the rest of us?
If you watch until the very end of the video, the reporter says you can ask the boarding agent if your child has been “selected” for a random check and if so the parent can “opt out”.
This whole thing is meaningless in terms of safety. Every terrorist has now been told how to beat the system while the law abiders get groped.
It is time to resist loudly and vigorously.
