The child's father, not the TSA, took off the shift.
Correct.
However, go back and watch. After the agent put the shirt back on in a “kind, loving manner”, he, a complete stranger patted the boy around the waist and on his head as if to say, imply, whatEVER, “good boy”.
Something I’d have done as a mother. At home. Alone.
And the other agents all stopped what they were doing to watch.
Why? Why not keep the cattle, I mean, the line of people moving?
WHY was the child pulled out of line in the first place????
