Like bruh, it’s airport security, it prevents thousands of lives being lost every day. We don’t need another 9/11.
Maddison woodman one may smile and smile and be a villain. Just because you got through it unscathed doesn’t make it moral or necessary. It’s certainly not freedom. Why would you trust someone to violate you since they do it nicely?
Lytra how exactly does public intimidation, humiliation, harassment; compliance obtained through the implied threat of violence, kidnapping, and robbery; violation of our constitutional rights against unnecessary, unreasonable, warrantless, search and seizure save thousands of lives every day? This is just the new terrorism. The 9/11 excuse is getting old and stale. This is not done to catch anything illegal or dangerous, it’s to keep the citizens oppressed and in line, thinking they’re being cared for. It’s perverse. Stand up for your rights before they’re all gone.
Same with me at age 13 but the lady was very nice, funny and explained everything as she did it. She was SO quick. It was over in well under a minute but this was in London not the US. Thankfully I didn't get patted down when I went to NY.
EVEN A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD CAN BE USED AS A MULE TO CARRY DRUGS SO THE PATTING DOWN CAN BE WARRANTED AS NECESSARY BUT WHAT BOTHERS ME HERE IS THAT THE PROCEDURE WAS CARRIED OUT WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC LOOKING ON, WHEN THE RESPECTFUL THING TO DO WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TAKE THE CHILD AND HER PARENT/PARENTS TO A ROOM AND THEN CARRY OUT THE SEARCH.
Reminds me of the time I was a little 90 pound 16 year old having an anxiety attack because I used to be horrified of planes and was going on my first ride and that made the TSA decide that I was suspicious. they took me away from my parents but in front of a bunch of other people and gave me a super through pat down/ search. Which only made me freak out so much more because I freak out if anyone touches me due to long term childhood sexual abuse and sensory processing issues. I wasn’t even able to hug my parents without freaking out let alone strangers touching me in those areas.
As a disabled wheelchair user with children...this is a big reason why I am 40 yrs old and never flown in a plane. Having doctors groping my body for medical tests is bad enough...I have no tolerance for it from anyone else!
@@justsomelochnessmonsterony8265 TSA keeps no one safe. They never stop terrorists, only kids and people with medical conditions or disabilities. No one wants their child groped and if you’re fine with it, you don’t deserve children.
Omg let them do their job. Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong. They used a female TSA agent to pat down a little girl. Big deal. I’m sure that TSA agent was just as uncomfortable as the girl because she has to do it. Move on people. Nothing important here...
I actually had a semi-OK TSA experience at Orlando when I showed up to the baggage check-in and discovered that I didn't have my driver's license. I also had bronchitis and laryngitis. I was coughing and I couldn't talk. It was really dramatic at first.. There was a stand-off about whether I not I was going to allowed to board without official identification. Then a more senior TSA agent showed up and saved the day The TSA agent searched me and my baggage and let me use my credit cards and AAA card as identification. She swabbed everything for bomb residue. She was actually very patient letting me try to work through the laryngitis to try to talk. Finally, she escorted us through all the check points and we made our flight. And if we tried to fly out now I doubt we could've gotten on the flight because the severity of my cough would've been a red flag about CV-19 virus. After all that when we got home my wife found my license in her purse.
**Public Service Announcement** I work for the TSA and the body scanner they use emmits less radiation than talking on your cellphone. It uses millimeter waves. Look it up. Very weak.
jakee003001 That's makes entirely too much sense in this new world that we live in. I've been patted down literally no big deal. Even children. Just explain to your kids the importance. Nothing to see here.
I could fly just fine knowing that they weren’t groping every ten year old girl. It irks me that people are ok with this nonsense. In ten years this will happen at the entrance of every McDonalds
mak 10 precisely! It's the same with cops or anyone else with authority. People are quick to judge when hindsight shows everything is fine, but when there is a bombing or shooting, they switch to "do your job". SMDH

Ok she didnt carry anything illegal and now she will have some sort of issues because she is 12 and people patted her like a criminal. What do you say to her now? Just to get over it?? What would you say if she was your own daughter? Disgusting!!!!
I believe the main issue is that the explosives test had give off so many false positives in a row that day that better protocol should have been put in place, at least until it was fixed. People were unnecessarily patted down, and for a 10 year old girl, something like that can be traumatizing and verge on feeling like sexual assault
There are evil people that will try to smuggle things places by using children as mules because children are less likely to be considered suspicious. It's a really tricky situation that doesn't seem to have a good compromise.
I had this done a couple times when i was a kid. My family always got singled out it seemed. Everything ended up being fine though. Better than being exposed to two xrays.
@@crimsontidegal6332 u think it makes a difference if u wear pants? Ive seen more invasive pat downs of girls wearing pants even 1s too tight to conceal anything and they put their hands down the pants!
To be fair, They may have forgotten. A few years ago on a trip to Italy my mother and I had a lay over in England. I had a bottle of water, my mom a small can of soda that were given on the first flight when going through the second airports screening. Now that area of screening was for connecting flights only, and there was nowhere between getting off the plane and getting there that you can even get anything to drink. Yet we both got pulled over for our bags to be searched just for them to find drinks given from a flight. They made us drink it there or toss them. So it's possible the dad packed the girl a capri sun for the trip to the airport and just never drank it and forgot it was there.
CHILDREN Should not be patted down without probable cause!They took liquid makeup away from my granddaughter,yet without realizing it I went through purse screening with a plastic coated knife of the swiss knife type,both going and the return trip! Didn 't realize it until I got home!
PaulaakaPaben CHILDREN Should be pat down many people hide bad things with their children thinking nobody would look there. Tsa just doesn’t want something bad to happen. Tbh I just think people are overreacting. This happens to everybody trust me 🙄 btw this is coming from an 11 child...
The law says you can record at check points now. I understand the need for check points but TSA has gotten way out of control!! If TSA just used commen sense on issues like this the public would not hate them so much
Last time people went trough and no one rly cared 4 flights got hijacked and 3 of those flew into buildings causing thousands of deaths and more wounded.
I can totally relate. When I was 8 my family and I went on an international trip. At every single TSA security we had to go through I just happen to be the random check of the day. I got patted down over 5 times in one day? At every station they all declared that it is just a random check because I happen to be the 500th person or something like that. Tell me how does an 8 year old wearing just about all pink, bag included, is suspicious when on a family vacation.
Unpopular opinion: no one is above getting searched 🤷🏾♀️. Whether it’s a metal detector or pat down, there are crooked people in all ages, colors, sizes, genders,etc. Children, mentally disabled, handicapped, and others all have some people that do wrong. So if a check is required for protection purposes🤷🏾♀️, just do what you’re told and move on. No big deal.
There are also crooked people in businesses and jobs unfortunately. So it doesn’t matter what rule is made, people will find ways to break it. You can’t stop everything that’s why being aware is important, but searches are necessary in my opinion.
It would be ridiculous to ban TSA patting-down a child because criminals would expand the use of children to carry illegal items knowing they are immune to being searched!
I have these videos playing in the back as I do homework and all of a sudden i just hear this: "Her backpack contained a caprisun juice pack, which is not allowed on flights, so the TSA screened her for explosives" I'm like wtf lmao i didn't quite put two and three together
First.. ANY one who flies regardless of age is and should be subject to a pat down if alerted regardless if it's a false or true reading. Second... I think it's weird that the dad is recording it in the first place. and third.. you can very plainly see that the TSA agent isnt touching her in any private area and is talking to her the whole time.
I get the FULL pat down every time I fly due to previous injuries. Doesn't bother me. But I'm a grown man(been injured since I was 13) so I cant speak for a young girl...
Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. NO ONE should be exempt from a TSA check. Young or old, you just don't know. If you dont like it, drive. I'd rather be a live chicken than a dead duck.
In 1968 my father and I was patted down (I was 9 years old) as we were walking into our waiting section. Two security personel throwed us up against a wall very hard. I was due to have open aorta heart valve replacement surgery in Boston. I was not in good health. The tallest security guard was showing off to impress the other security guard. My father and I had not done anything wrong or suspicous. Talk about rude.
Why shouldn't a kid be pat down anyway? Everyone needs to be checked. For all they know some family might hide things on kids. Better to be safe than sorry.
I recently went through and was taken aside for a patdown (bobby pins in hair.) They called five people to come "help" and I eye contact with one of them. I didn't roll my eyes or make gestures. The agent I looked at started yelling "You got a problem with me, white lady?" and continued ranting though I said nothing. I expected the other agents to say something to her and they said NOTHING. The other passengers were also visibly mortified but said nothing until we all passed through. Baggage handlers who were given unearned authority. Scary and disgusting...
The problem is the childrens are being used as a tool to smuggle a lot of things. Sadly as much as i m furious over this, i still can't ignore the reality. It's like having a conscience is a burden
I use to work at the airport and for anyone that wants a pro tip in carrying liquids through TSA, I found out that if you freeze your water, juice etc (since it would be no longer in liquid form,)you can bring it through. Which saves you buying up that overpriced water or filling up your bottle from that nasty water from the refill station. This is a tip I got from one of TSA agents and have done it a lot since and never had an issue.
I mean people should stop exaggerated Over something like that ,it’s not like she been harassed or something. Plus we can clearly see that the women who did the pat-down were was nice to her ...I’m mean what’s the problem over there
@@MaileyMcAslan what are you on? its totally normal to be patted down. you sound like the kind of guy who would want so much freedom through the airport that another bombing takes place..

Such as i think taliban even used mentaly dissabled childeren with bombs strapped to them and got them to run at soldiers
People talk all that b******* about terrorism, but when security starts doing its job they get b******* like this. Looks to me like the lady was doing her job and at least it was a female officer it would have been bad if it was a male officer.
Kevin ray McGaugh you don’t have a choice when it comes to tsa. It happen to my sister, she was 13 and we were coming back from Disney world, she got infront of us and they tried to take her off to a separate room with out saying anything to us. I had to flip out for them to stop. They wouldn’t not do the frisk on her. Even tho her explosive test came back negative. Tsa is awful.
Send all TSA if it was my daughter I would have looked at the TSA and fucking went apeshit on them. Even if they have backup. I should also state I'm a marine veteran so I'm fucking someone up for touching my child.
If you use hand cream or beauty products with glycerin as an ingredient it will give you a false positive. I’m handicapped and had put hand cream on my dry cracked winter skin and I got taken in a room and searched much more than usual. I was also on a scooter.
record with your phone. get their name. report to the police and social security disability department. file charges. it's a crime to abuse disabled persons.
Stop calling it groping. It's on video. It's not groping. We need to be safe. IMO, everybody should be screened. I certainly don't want to blow up in the sky because someone used their child or grandmother as a mule for a bomb or weapon.
@@dianarockwell6256 Well, in that case I'm never flying in a plane anywhere. They might do the same to me for being 20 pounds overweight. AND because I have a metal plate holding my leg together. They'll think it's a threat. Or I might urp up a bomb. I went through something similar just to get to my Social Security APPOINTMENT in a federal building. These people abuse their power anymore.
July Miller So what. I’ve had to go through patdowns when I was young too. The girl got a pat down because of a juice box, big deal. I get pat downs when I’m traveling all the time bc of a medical drink that I have to drink 4 times a day, and I have to go through a pat down before they even test the drink, because they can’t see the contents of what’s inside the sealed container. (It’s a drink that’s shaped like a juice box, but it’s a chocolate milk flavored medical drink)
@@jasonclarkson3246 I rest my case, actually. That's prescribed to you. I stand by my saying to Miss Diana. They are abusing their power. I had to hold that T position with arms, and legs spread for over five minutes, while constantly being frisked. I was actually EXTREMELY close to a mental breakdown. And remember... I HAD to be there for an appointment I almost missed because of those overzealous guards. I'm no threat. I'm small in stature and weight. Well... Never again.
I know this seems like a big thing, but if you worked that job it would be normal. I've seen people hide drugs on kids, baby bags, in the baby's dipper with it on the baby.
I remember when I got a pat down they got mad at my dad for being there and kept asking him to leave. My dad kept saying he’s not letting his (then) 14 year old daughter get pat down and walk on the plane alone (it happened in the tunnel thing that takes you to the plane)

Maddison woodman one may smile and smile and be a villain. Just because you got through it unscathed doesn’t make it moral or necessary. It’s certainly not freedom. Why would you trust someone to violate you since they do it nicely?
Lytra how exactly does public intimidation, humiliation, harassment; compliance obtained through the implied threat of violence, kidnapping, and robbery; violation of our constitutional rights against unnecessary, unreasonable, warrantless, search and seizure save thousands of lives every day? This is just the new terrorism. The 9/11 excuse is getting old and stale. This is not done to catch anything illegal or dangerous, it’s to keep the citizens oppressed and in line, thinking they’re being cared for. It’s perverse. Stand up for your rights before they’re all gone.
BC Barnett you do know you don’t have to fly right?
Same with me at age 13 but the lady was very nice, funny and explained everything as she did it. She was SO quick. It was over in well under a minute but this was in London not the US. Thankfully I didn't get patted down when I went to NY.
EVEN A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD CAN BE USED AS A MULE TO CARRY DRUGS SO THE PATTING DOWN CAN BE WARRANTED AS NECESSARY BUT WHAT BOTHERS ME HERE IS THAT THE PROCEDURE WAS CARRIED OUT WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC LOOKING ON, WHEN THE RESPECTFUL THING TO DO WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TAKE THE CHILD AND HER PARENT/PARENTS TO A ROOM AND THEN CARRY OUT THE SEARCH.
I agree with you but all caps?
@@franklinmontero5504 ikr whats up witht he caps
You okay there?
They offer private screening, if they said no 🤷
thank u
Airport rules is kinda intense but that security lady did her job and stuff and she is fine
Reminds me of the time I was a little 90 pound 16 year old having an anxiety attack because I used to be horrified of planes and was going on my first ride and that made the TSA decide that I was suspicious.
they took me away from my parents but in front of a bunch of other people and gave me a super through pat down/ search. Which only made me freak out so much more because I freak out if anyone touches me due to long term childhood sexual abuse and sensory processing issues. I wasn’t even able to hug my parents without freaking out let alone strangers touching me in those areas.
must have been horrible :/
Sometimes it seems that they are too paranoid.
It's all so uneccesary!!!
I know that feeling very well, I hate being touch and don't care for hugs either. Hugs make me feel weird even from my mom whom I love.
Thank you forr sharing. I feel so sorry for you. Remember God loves you
As a disabled wheelchair user with children...this is a big reason why I am 40 yrs old and never flown in a plane. Having doctors groping my body for medical tests is bad enough...I have no tolerance for it from anyone else!
You would thank those doctors if they find cancer or some thing you overlooked tough.
It would have to be an emergency for me to ever fly again. To go threw all this crap and pay hard money to travel ......no thanks.
I’m 15 and I’ve always gotten patted down at the airport, both my home airport and the airport at the location I travel to, I have no idea why
Oh come on.... Its a pat down. You're at an airport! 😑
It's a kid. I wouldn't want these people touching my kids
@@Maria.9094 Okay so, it's not about what anyone wants, its about keeping people safe.
@@justsomelochnessmonsterony8265 TSA keeps no one safe. They never stop terrorists, only kids and people with medical conditions or disabilities. No one wants their child groped and if you’re fine with it, you don’t deserve children.
This will be remembered the rest of her life. Forever
Omg let them do their job. Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong. They used a female TSA agent to pat down a little girl. Big deal. I’m sure that TSA agent was just as uncomfortable as the girl because she has to do it. Move on people. Nothing important here...
A 10 year old with a juice box is terrifying and can bring down any plane.
I actually had a semi-OK TSA experience at Orlando when I showed up to the baggage check-in and discovered that I didn't have my driver's license. I also had bronchitis and laryngitis. I was coughing and I couldn't talk. It was really dramatic at first.. There was a stand-off about whether I not I was going to allowed to board without official identification. Then a more senior TSA agent showed up and saved the day
The TSA agent searched me and my baggage and let me use my credit cards and AAA card as identification. She swabbed everything for bomb residue. She was actually very patient letting me try to work through the laryngitis to try to talk. Finally, she escorted us through all the check points and we made our flight.
And if we tried to fly out now I doubt we could've gotten on the flight because the severity of my cough would've been a red flag about CV-19 virus. After all that when we got home my wife found my license in her purse.
the TSA agent at least looked like she was trying to make the girl comfortable
Honestly, I've opted for being pat down many times over walking through the x-rays and it's really not that big of a deal.
You have been very lucky.
**Public Service Announcement** I work for the TSA and the body scanner they use emmits less radiation than talking on your cellphone. It uses millimeter waves. Look it up. Very weak.
Doesn't the TSA Know that Capri Suns are Explosively delicious😁
You have to remember that many people use children to do illegal activities. Better safe than sorry
jakee003001 That's makes entirely too much sense in this new world that we live in. I've been patted down literally no big deal. Even children. Just explain to your kids the importance. Nothing to see here.
jakee002001 yea before I was pre check I was pat down all the time, I just made the tsa agent laugh. I didn’t see anything wrong with that pat down
That’s the view all Paedophiles support.
I could fly just fine knowing that they weren’t groping every ten year old girl. It irks me that people are ok with this nonsense. In ten years this will happen at the entrance of every McDonalds
They've ripped film out from my camera returning from abroad. I was 8 and it broke my heart.
So if the girl was carrying drugs or a bomb for her parents and TSA caught it, would everyone still be upset??
mak 10 precisely! It's the same with cops or anyone else with authority. People are quick to judge when hindsight shows everything is fine, but when there is a bombing or shooting, they switch to "do your job". SMDH
Ok she didnt carry anything illegal and now she will have some sort of issues because she is 12 and people patted her like a criminal.
What do you say to her now? Just to get over it??
What would you say if she was your own daughter? Disgusting!!!!
@@exmember1607 No its our rights being violated.
So, what you're saying is... Ends justify the means?
I believe the main issue is that the explosives test had give off so many false positives in a row that day that better protocol should have been put in place, at least until it was fixed. People were unnecessarily patted down, and for a 10 year old girl, something like that can be traumatizing and verge on feeling like sexual assault
The TSA is literally doing their job based on protocol. It sucks but I'd be hesitant to board a plane if the TSA was lenient.
This is so disgusting wtf that’s too far she’s 10 years old!! Omg
There are evil people that will try to smuggle things places by using children as mules because children are less likely to be considered suspicious. It's a really tricky situation that doesn't seem to have a good compromise.
Yes there is syndicate that using children.
TSA doesn't like to talk about the rules because they don't have any.
best way is to not fly
that'll show em.
I have not flown in 22yrs, I drive, take a bus, or train.
How you cross a ocean?
You walk?
@@cdxbbjfzshhtfschj9198 never had the desire other than to islands around, take a boat
My thoughts exactly, I'll never fly again but do understand that some don't have a choice but I don't have to.
The agent looks like she is trying to be nice to the girl at least. But this whole system is just ridiculously invasive.
I had this done a couple times when i was a kid. My family always got singled out it seemed. Everything ended up being fine though. Better than being exposed to two xrays.
The way they patted you down then is nothing compared to how far they go now. Do not wear a dress to the airport.
I think xrays are the least of your worries with spelling like that.
@@flaviobriggs what is spelled incorrectly?
@@kkms1987 First of all, your sentences are conjoined incorrectly. Second, you used two instead of to.
@@crimsontidegal6332 u think it makes a difference if u wear pants? Ive seen more invasive pat downs of girls wearing pants even 1s too tight to conceal anything and they put their hands down the pants!
If you don't wanna be pat-downed, don't fly.
I mean she was very gentle with the pat-down. You can’t just let everyone get onto planes because people DO use kids for bombs, drugs, etc.
Really, at what airport was anyone found using kids to transport these items??
Cissy2cute I too am waiting on this proof/evidence/ and/or links of people using kids as mules. I’m tired of these anecdotal stories of he/she said.
Hard to believe that a parent wouldn't know the kid cannot carry juice into the gate area.
merry hunt the kid could’ve put the juice in her bag without the father knowing
Tell me you don`t have kids.
To be fair, They may have forgotten. A few years ago on a trip to Italy my mother and I had a lay over in England. I had a bottle of water, my mom a small can of soda that were given on the first flight when going through the second airports screening. Now that area of screening was for connecting flights only, and there was nowhere between getting off the plane and getting there that you can even get anything to drink. Yet we both got pulled over for our bags to be searched just for them to find drinks given from a flight. They made us drink it there or toss them. So it's possible the dad packed the girl a capri sun for the trip to the airport and just never drank it and forgot it was there.
Remember you can video and audio record any person in public even tsa and cops
I had one of these to!!! My mum and dad was furious
CHILDREN Should not be patted down without probable cause!They took liquid makeup away from my granddaughter,yet without realizing it I went through purse screening with a plastic coated knife of the swiss knife type,both going and the return trip! Didn 't realize it until I got home!
PaulaakaPaben CHILDREN Should be pat down many people hide bad things with their children thinking nobody would look there. Tsa just doesn’t want something bad to happen. Tbh I just think people are overreacting. This happens to everybody trust me 🙄 btw this is coming from an 11 child...
PaulaakaPaben they also probably took the liquid eyeliner away bc it probably had to many ounces
oh please, that's no big deal. Give me a break. Sorry, but if there was "some" reason, better to be safe than sorry!!!
I do sometime feel sorry for the TSA agent. That looks like an ordinary patdown
“Ordinary patdown”… “10 year old girl”? Huh?
It looks like a regular pat down.
The law says you can record at check points now. I understand the need for check points but TSA has gotten way out of control!! If TSA just used commen sense on issues like this the public would not hate them so much
Its the procedure, people that get trigerred are karens
We raise issue on precautionary measures until something happens
Last time people went trough and no one rly cared 4 flights got hijacked and 3 of those flew into buildings causing thousands of deaths and more wounded.
I dont understand the outrage people get pat down, thats what happens at airports, it doesn't matter the age. Better safe than sorry.
I can totally relate. When I was 8 my family and I went on an international trip. At every single TSA security we had to go through I just happen to be the random check of the day. I got patted down over 5 times in one day? At every station they all declared that it is just a random check because I happen to be the 500th person or something like that. Tell me how does an 8 year old wearing just about all pink, bag included, is suspicious when on a family vacation.
It's unfortunate youtube and video taping this treatment wasnt as much of a thing in the early 2000s
Unpopular opinion: no one is above getting searched 🤷🏾♀️. Whether it’s a metal detector or pat down, there are crooked people in all ages, colors, sizes, genders,etc. Children, mentally disabled, handicapped, and others all have some people that do wrong. So if a check is required for protection purposes🤷🏾♀️, just do what you’re told and move on. No big deal.
There are also crooked people in businesses and jobs unfortunately. So it doesn’t matter what rule is made, people will find ways to break it. You can’t stop everything that’s why being aware is important, but searches are necessary in my opinion.
TSA has been given too much power and it has really gone way too far.
They just did their job, i don't understand why people get so angry for this.
It would be ridiculous to ban TSA patting-down a child because criminals would expand the use of children to carry illegal items knowing they are immune to being searched!
Criminals and terrorist have been known to use kids and people with disabillity's as a detterent already so it's not unthinkable
TSA takes things to far they need to be removed and replaced by by REAL officers
I have these videos playing in the back as I do homework and all of a sudden i just hear this:
"Her backpack contained a caprisun juice pack, which is not allowed on flights, so the TSA screened her for explosives"
I'm like wtf lmao i didn't quite put two and three together
Capri sun, yes, the case was, that does not mean the liquids inside.
First.. ANY one who flies regardless of age is and should be subject to a pat down if alerted regardless if it's a false or true reading. Second... I think it's weird that the dad is recording it in the first place. and third.. you can very plainly see that the TSA agent isnt touching her in any private area and is talking to her the whole time.
I get the FULL pat down every time I fly due to previous injuries. Doesn't bother me. But I'm a grown man(been injured since I was 13) so I cant speak for a young girl...
Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. NO ONE should be exempt from a TSA check. Young or old, you just don't know. If you dont like it, drive. I'd rather be a live chicken than a dead duck.
In 1968 my father and I was patted down (I was 9 years old) as we were walking into our waiting section. Two security personel throwed us up against a wall very hard. I was due to have open aorta heart valve replacement surgery in Boston. I was not in good health. The tallest security guard was showing off to impress the other security guard. My father and I had not done anything wrong or suspicous. Talk about rude.
Why shouldn't a kid be pat down anyway? Everyone needs to be checked. For all they know some family might hide things on kids. Better to be safe than sorry.
They should get rid of all TSA agents at airlines. Ask Israel how it is done correctly.
Ken Carpenter how do you look Muslim??? What about converts?
Wow i really hope this is sarcasm.
What do they do
Maybe the way Israel does the security check is less invasive to people--might be less intimidating to people in general.
My only comment is ask any soldier who has survived conflict with child soldiers if they think a pat down is unreasonable.
I recently went through and was taken aside for a patdown (bobby pins in hair.) They called five people to come "help" and I eye contact with one of them. I didn't roll my eyes or make gestures. The agent I looked at started yelling "You got a problem with me, white lady?" and continued ranting though I said nothing. I expected the other agents to say something to her and they said NOTHING. The other passengers were also visibly mortified but said nothing until we all passed through. Baggage handlers who were given unearned authority. Scary and disgusting...
The problem is the childrens are being used as a tool to smuggle a lot of things. Sadly as much as i m furious over this, i still can't ignore the reality. It's like having a conscience is a burden
So why don't a female TSA agent pat her down ?
A female agent did. The footage clearly shows it
And yet we still allow this all
I use to work at the airport and for anyone that wants a pro tip in carrying liquids through TSA, I found out that if you freeze your water, juice etc (since it would be no longer in liquid form,)you can bring it through. Which saves you buying up that overpriced water or filling up your bottle from that nasty water from the refill station. This is a tip I got from one of TSA agents and have done it a lot since and never had an issue.
As a 10 yr old I would of passed gas everytime they put their head down!! They haven't stopped a terrorist yet!!
ahhh on yasss!!!
Those people are sick and vicious.
I mean people should stop exaggerated
Over something like that ,it’s not like she been harassed or something. Plus we can clearly see that the women who did the pat-down were was nice to her ...I’m mean what’s the problem over there
*was
Everyone complaining until someone uses a kid to bring a weapon on the plain. Don’t like it then don’t fly simply as that
I’ve always been patted down since I was like 6? Thought this was normal procedure
Jës it’s not normal, it’s not right, it’s not indicative of a free nation, it’s not necessary. It’s the new slavery, my friend.
@@MaileyMcAslan what are you on? its totally normal to be patted down. you sound like the kind of guy who would want so much freedom through the airport that another bombing takes place..

Have u consideres atheism?
@@pablomendez9671 No, and that won't stop the TSA. Besides, you don't have to be Pentecostal to wear a skirt.
If the test was positive for explosive residue, child or not she needs to be patted down for our collective safety.

Seriously? She had a drink
@@nikkistephens4990 and parents hide drugs inside of babies.

That was to much of a pat down she's only a child
Bonnie Weeden only a child that could be careing bombs for someone that couldv been pretending to be her parent also ya know terrorists dont have any mrcy nor care about if childeren do theyr dirty work? Such as i think taliban even used mentaly dissabled childeren with bombs strapped to them and got them to run at soldiers
People talk all that b******* about terrorism, but when security starts doing its job they get b******* like this. Looks to me like the lady was doing her job and at least it was a female officer it would have been bad if it was a male officer.
If the father had a problem with her being patted down why did he allow it
Kevin ray McGaugh you don’t have a choice when it comes to tsa. It happen to my sister, she was 13 and we were coming back from Disney world, she got infront of us and they tried to take her off to a separate room with out saying anything to us. I had to flip out for them to stop. They wouldn’t not do the frisk on her. Even tho her explosive test came back negative. Tsa is awful.
Send all TSA if it was my daughter I would have looked at the TSA and fucking went apeshit on them. Even if they have backup. I should also state I'm a marine veteran so I'm fucking someone up for touching my child.
I'm sorry if I don't understand. What is so wrong with a pat down, it's no abuse. It's just checking? I see no problem.
If you use hand cream or beauty products with glycerin as an ingredient it will give you a false positive. I’m handicapped and had put hand cream on my dry cracked winter skin and I got taken in a room and searched much more than usual. I was also on a scooter.

People have no morals anymore that's horrible what they did to that little girl you might bother her for the rest of her life
Stop calling it groping. It's on video. It's not groping. We need to be safe. IMO, everybody should be screened. I certainly don't want to blow up in the sky because someone used their child or grandmother as a mule for a bomb or weapon.
It is videotaped groping. It is obscene. The terrorists won in part because we have given up the freedom to fly unmolested.

July Miller So what. I’ve had to go through patdowns when I was young too. The girl got a pat down because of a juice box, big deal. I get pat downs when I’m traveling all the time bc of a medical drink that I have to drink 4 times a day, and I have to go through a pat down before they even test the drink, because they can’t see the contents of what’s inside the sealed container. (It’s a drink that’s shaped like a juice box, but it’s a chocolate milk flavored medical drink)
@@jasonclarkson3246 I rest my case, actually. That's prescribed to you. I stand by my saying to Miss Diana. They are abusing their power. I had to hold that T position with arms, and legs spread for over five minutes, while constantly being frisked. I was actually EXTREMELY close to a mental breakdown. And remember... I HAD to be there for an appointment I almost missed because of those overzealous guards. I'm no threat. I'm small in stature and weight. Well... Never again.
I know this seems like a big thing, but if you worked that job it would be normal. I've seen people hide drugs on kids, baby bags, in the baby's dipper with it on the baby.
She is lucky it was just pat down. We Muslim face worse than that. They make us take off our clothes.
I remember when I got a pat down they got mad at my dad for being there and kept asking him to leave. My dad kept saying he’s not letting his (then) 14 year old daughter get pat down and walk on the plane alone (it happened in the tunnel thing that takes you to the plane)
That poor child ... She looks like she wants to break down , the search looks like they violated her
lisa Stanton not rlly its a thurough search that was done properly and was nowhere near violent or looked like sexual assault its better to be safe than sorry
The TSA agent was nothing but professional. Parents should make their kids more aware of what could happen and console them.
