TSA Defends Pat Down of 4-Year-Old Girl 1174
cosm writes "With public outcry against the TSA continuing to spread, the TSA is defending a recent episode in which a four-year-old was patted down while kicking and screaming at Wichita Airport in Kansas. From the AP article: 'The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport said Wednesday that the child was forced to undergo a pat-down after hugging her, with security agents yelling and calling the crying girl an uncooperative suspect.'"

Terrorists are no longer welcome on our airplanes.
If you really want to terrorize people that badly, go join the TSA!

Yeah, and if that same candidate also had a sound monetary and economic policy and a sound foreign policy, he would be the top choice of all of the voters regardless of their party denomination.
Oh wait.
