'Disgusting' TSA Pat-Down Of A Young Boy

Facebook Goes Ballistic Over 'Disgusting' TSA Pat-Down Of A Young Boy

This is painful to watch.

Facebook commenters are going off over a Texas mom’s video of a disturbingly thorough pat-down her young son received at the airport.

On Sunday, Jennifer Williamson and her 13-year-old son Aaron missed their flight at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport after Transportation Security Administration officers held them up for at least 45 minutes, Williamson told The Huffington Post.

But it was one officer’s intimate pat-down of Aaron ― allegedly prompted by a laptop found in the boy’s bag ― that got the public’s blood boiling.

The video shows an officer using the front of his hands to pat Aaron down in sensitive areas, a technique used only in “limited cases,” per TSA screening guidelines. Previously, officers used the backs of their hands, the Los Angeles Times reported earlier this month when the TSA rolled out a new, unspecified but “more intimate” pat-down procedure in airports across the U.S.

Williamson said she felt violated, noting officers ignored her requests that they screen Aaron in another way, as he experiences sensory processing disorder.

“I believe the pat down that was performed on my son went beyond normal standards,” she told HuffPost.

Most commenters on Facebook agreed, and the video went viral, racking up nearly 7 million views. “This is absolutely disgusting!!” one viewer wrote.

The TSA stood by its officer’s actions in a statement posted to its blog.

“TSA screening procedures allow for the pat-down of children under certain circumstances,” the post reads. “In this instance, a laptop alarmed the explosives trace detection machine, which requires additional screening to resolve the alarm.”

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Bet the prick enjoyed it too. It was very uncomfortable for me and I was over 30 at the time. I'd hate to have to go through it at that kids age. Old fart in the video seemed to enjoy his job a little to much

If you're not confronted by that much larger, much older male groping a young boy with SPD for 2 minutes, For having a laptop mind you, you're one sick puppy.

You're comment kind of suggests you are.

Factor in TSA workers are on minimum wage.
They're barely qualified to flip burgers.

These are the employees most commonly responsible for screening passengers and baggage.
