6 Year Old Girl Receives Entire Body Pat Down From TSA

Stephen Gutowski | April 11, 2011

A new video documenting some of the more unpleasant tactics employed by the TSA has come to light. This time the video shows a 6 year old girl getting an extremely thorough full body pat down. I guess in case she has a shiv stashed somewhere on her person. You can never be too safe, right?

There is no conceivable way this is appropriate in my mind. Frankly the whole thing reeks of security theater. After all does any sane person really believe this little girl is hiding anything? Would it even be possible for her to hid something that requires such an aggressive pat down?
