TSA apologizes for coercing four-year-old to remove leg brace

Four-year-old's are capable of terrorism. From the USA Today:

The Transportation Security Administration concedes that a 4-year-old boy heading to Walt Disney World for a  birthday celebration should not have been forced to remove his leg braces during an airport-security screening in Philadelphia, a Philly columnist writes.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Daniel Rubin writes that the incident occurred last March when Ryan Thomas was flying to Orlando with his parents, Bob and Leona, but that the TSA apologized last week only after the columnist got wind of it.

Read Rubin's full column here.

Rubin says Ryan was born 16 weeks prematurely and started to walk only last March because his ankles are malformed and his legs have low muscle tone.

TSA screeners  insisted that Ryan take off his braces and walk through the detector unaccompanied.

Rubin writes that the TSA, in its apology, said Ryan should have been taken into a private area and swabbed for traces of explosive materials.

This incident happened last year and only now do the fine people at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) apologize. How many other people do they owe apologizes?

 TSA Must Go is a Web site that will document the abuses and usurpation's performed by the TSA and the employees of this organization. For too long law-abiding citizens have remained silent about the TSA tyrannical reign, where they equate every attempt at terrorism with an act that all Americans are complicit in conspiring to pull off.

First shoes must come off, then all liquids must be checked and now full body scanners or else a pat-down bordering on the obscene. What will be next?
