    I've seen the video on youtube about it. It has been pulled off now but I found this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkjMPs1sLyo&feature...

    It does seem the TSA are devoid of common sense when it comes to searching children. There was a case where they made the parents of a 4 year old disabled boy remove his leg braces to go through the metal scanner which was ridiculous as the poor child could not walk without them.

    Unfortunately in this world some people are sick enough to hide things on a small child when they are about to get pulled over or go through customs, This is why they search children. In theory the searching does not sound good there does seem like there could be a better way but I'd rather they were able to incriminate parents sick enough to do that than allow them to go free. If the message got out searching children was against policy then any sick head would be using children as mules. Think about that. Even though not invasive it must be upsetting for the children as well as the parents..

    Was the parent a drug dealer? No, the father was a local news reporter. The child became upset after her teddy bear was put through the scanner, and the TSA agent decided that this somehow required them to then wand and grope the child. The child was hysterical, screaming "Don't touch me!" while clinging to her mother. This happened in a city in the southern US.

    The original video was pulled for supposed copyright infringement. I strongly suspect it was at the request of the TSA. Here is another video, from a later news report. While Dad seems remarkably accepting of the whole thing, I remain disgusted.
