If you dont want your 6 year old searched, dont fly. These same people who say "its a six year old you dont have to be thorough" are the same people who get pissed that people with turbans get searched every time, because of how they look. But you should be able to skip a process because of how you look? Bs i say. If 6 year olds got a free pass in security, every terrorist would just strap the bombs on babies. Then where would we be?

I got searched when I was a kid, probably 8 or 9. It wasn't a big deal, they just pat me down and sent me on my way.

i would hate to be the TSA agent. she's just doing her job, but so many people judge her for it. i mean i freaked out the first time i had to use the scanner and be patted down. it makes me feel extremely vulnerable and it is dehumanizing to be seen as a potential threat and as a possible murderer, but at the same time it`s really not that big of a deal. treating everyone as if they could be a danger is exactly what we need to do. i don`t necessarily like it or commend the idea, but its doing exactly what its supposed to do. honestly, americans complain about the lack of security and control, but are too afraid to give up such a trivial liberty. why are americans so against the idea of giving up certain liberties to benefit the whole? real question. i`m interested

I didnt see any groping... and TSA doesnt only check for bombs, they check for drugs as well. I have seen far too many adults hiding their drugs with their children. Ive seen women hide stolen merchandise under their baby in a stroller!
And I find it funny how after 9/11 the entire nation was blaming the government for not having active preventive measures that could have stopped the terrorists. Now that they do [not saying its completely affective] the nation complains at what an inconvenience/injustice it is...
