meh.. I think the TSA guy is pretty nice... the wheelchair must have bleeped so he is supposed to check it.. just because it's a kid it doesn't mean a parent can't plant drugs on him to take abroad.. and well old people.. they are just plain dangerous when flying.. always bringing stuff they aren't supposed to bring with them too fly..

The agent didn't beat the kid, he handled it with care and compassion, and within three minutes... what's to complain about

I have to agree with NiKKoM here, the TSA officer wasn't at all acting intimidating, aggressive, or even unfriendly.

In my opinion this is just a silly reaction from both sides, obviously the kid wasn't going to bomb anyone, but on the other hand it is the TSA officers job to check him, and he did so with all the care he could.

Another case of "being blown out of proportion" more than year after the fact (In my opinion).

I don't think anyone is blaming the TSA officer. He was following orders.  We're upset in general with being treated like suspected terrorists until proven innocent, which is the opposite of how it's supposed to be.  Unless I'm mistaken, we still have something called the 4th amendment, right?

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
