'They just treated him like he's a terrorist - he's a six year old boy,' his distressed father Alex Long told King5 News. The young boy and his brother were on a surprise trip to Disneyland when the TSA subjected him to two pat-downs after he set off a detector. The officials also carefully examined his video-game even though it had been on the belt, and not his body which had beeped. The pat-down occurred the same day the TSA announced invasive pat-downs on children would be avoided.

Second TSA Complaint Filed at SeaTac Airport
Another complaint has been filed against the Transportation Safety Administration at SeaTac Airport in Seattle. Last week, Laura Adiele was told by TSA agents that they were going to inspect her “poofy” hair, which was tied up in a bun. Now the parents of a six year old boy have filed a complaint because the TSA subjected him to TWO invasive body searches.
