Full title: Weeping four-year-old girl accused of carrying a GUN by TSA officers after she hugged her grandmother while passing through security
A four-year-old girl was apparently subjected to a humiliating ordeal after she hugged her grandmother while she was waiting in line.
The girl was accused of having a gun and declared a 'high security threat', while agents threatened to shut down the whole airport if she could not be calmed down.
Terror threat? Four-year-old Isabella was subjected to a full body pat-down and accused of carrying a gun in an airport
In her terror, Isabella tried to run away rather than face a full body pat-down, which unsurprisingly enraged the TSA officers further.
One officer even told the girl's mother that the airport would have to be shut down and every flight cancelled if the four-year-old did not co-operate.
They also apparently described the little girl as a 'high security threat'.
Ms Brademeyer continued: 'The TSO loomed over my daughter, with an angry grimace on her face, and ordered her to stop crying.
'When my scared child could not do so, two TSOs called for backup saying, "The suspect is not cooperating." The suspect, of course, being a frightened child. They treated my daughter no better than if she had been a terrorist.'

Civilized people view wearing a badge as a duty and an honor, and something MUCH bigger than any individual.
“...TSA agents might experience so much DNA damage from standing next to those machines that they will be rendered completely infertile and therefore have no ability to reproduce.”

“...TSA employees are reporting “cancer clusters” among their own employees who work near radiation body scanners.”
Karma.
Good for you. Quit feeding the monster.
I quit flying in October 2000. Screw 'em. I can get to where I want to go by car.
It lessens unemployment numbers.
This "security" charade has gone on for too long. The TSA is nothing more than a Bush administration jobs program for the chronically unemployed.
Does 911 work in an airport?
“There was a time in this country when no self-respecting man would let anyone pat down a little girl.”

You’re right, it’s long past time for Americans to stand up to this kind of crap.
My Father (RIP) was an “Idaho Cowboy” and I know for a fact that he would have snapped a neck or two if this would have happened to my little sister.
Thank God for Idaho and Idahoans!
The ones in Con-gress. They're the ones that saddled us with this BS.
I'm starting to suspect they use those lexically tortured names so the they look at e.g. a luggage tag and be able to know if they're getting ready to steal from a brother.
No body-cavity search???!?
WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH THE TSA!!!!
THEY ARE SLIPPING.
If the War On Terror is over, then WHY do we still have the TSA?
I’d rather a character test being required. A person must be of low character to believe treating a little child in such a manner is acceptable.
“They have turned the government against the innocent people, the infidels, and it appears the government will do the work of the terrorists for them.”
Say rather, the government seized on a prime opportunity to grab more power for itself, and ever since, a good percentage of the population has defended the “need” to do so; some of them (as can be seen above) still defend the unconstitutional power grabs.
