I was just kidding, but seriously, I wouldn't want my kids (if I had any) being touched like that by anyone. Plus, let's be honest here, Islamic terrorists are generally Middle Eastern, and there's no way that girl or her parents were Middle Eastern.

It's best that everybody has to go through the same protocols, otherwise somebody who looks innocuous will slip through the net. I fully expect that the intelligence apparatus will pick out more likely nationalities to focus on, but security like this should be universally applied.

Also, I haven't been to the US since the security changes, but am I right in saying that the girl wouldn't have been touched at all if she'd gone through the scanner?

Yeah, this is fair I guess. She should've jsut gone through the scanner. Are there health risks regarding that?
