Baby's First TSA Patdown

theodp writes "Is there anything cuter than baby milestones? Baby's first steps. Baby's first word. And now, baby's first TSA patdown. 'Well,' writes Anna North, 'it finally happened. Airport security officers gave a pat-down to a baby.' A post on the TSA blog defended the move: 'The child's stroller alarmed during explosives screening. Our officers followed proper current screening procedures by screening the family after the alarm...The [8-month-old] child in the photo was simply receiving a modified pat-down.' Hey, at least they didn't make a federal case of the 4 oz. of liquid found in the little tyke's Pampers."

Personally I think the argument can be made that the loudest protestors against the TSA are overly neurotic and likely sexually repressed. So a TSA touched you, big deal. What are you, a Victorian schoolmarm, any physical contact is a crime against humanity?

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Chiropractic has helped cure countless people of terrible diseases caused by nerve blockages and subluxations since the 1800's. On the contrary, TSA is a costly, bogus scam.
