It was a suggestion from a Transportation Security Administration official from several years back that airport security personnel should treat as a "game" their pat-downs of little children, but it's raising alarms among those who advocate for children because the agency has not repudiated it.
The comment was from James Marchand, who was serving as TSA director in Houston, over an apparently aggressive pat-down of a 3-year-old child that left the little one screaming, "Don't touch me!"
Marchand, in his explanation at the time, said, "You try to make it as best you can for that child to come through. If you can come up with some kind of a game to play with a child, it makes it a lot easier."
A video of the incident, which has attracted renewed interest because of the enhanced screening procedures that were instituted just weeks ago by the TSA, is posted:
The issue is that experts confirm that making a "game" of touching often is how pedophiles will approach and then groom small children they intend for their victims.
Join tens of thousands of Americans in a petition demanding action against the intrusive airport screening procedures implemented by Janet Napolitano and send a letter to Congress, President Obama and others telling them exactly what you think about the issue.
"Of course this opens the door to future pedophiles, teachers, little friends and others 'playing' the 'pat down game' with children, and taking it further as the traumatized child tries to understand what is happening," Dr. Judith Reisman told WND. FULL STORY
