TSA pats down a baby

Is there anything cuter than baby milestones? Baby's first steps. Baby's first word. And now, baby's first TSA patdown. "Well," writes Anna North, "it finally happened. Airport security officers gave a pat-down to a baby.' A post on the TSA blog defended the move: "The child's stroller alarmed during explosives screening. Our officers followed proper current screening procedures by screening the family after the alarm . . . . The [eight-month-old] child in the photo was simply receiving a modified pat-down." Hey, at least they didn't make a federal case of the four ounces of liquid found in the little tyke's Pampers.
