[IP] Air security separated mother, 4-year-old

They should FIRE the TSA agents. The published TSA rules say that is not the
correct proceedure. Do they not have any control over their own employees!!!

Air security separated mother, 4-year-old

By Washington Post, 1/19/2003

WASHINGTON - When the 4-year-old daughter of Ariane Richaud set off
the metal detector at Reagan National Airport here on Christmas Day,
officers directed the child to a holding area with a number of men
waiting to be wanded. Richaud said she was told to stand elsewhere.

The child became distressed and began to cry. Richaud, of Woodbridge,
Va., said she could barely see her daughter, 10 to 15 feet away
behind a plexiglass wall, for what she estimated was about 10 minutes.

''I got emotional,'' Richaud said. ''I didn't cuss or anything, but I
did raise my voice, and asked them why they couldn't wand her first,
or let me be with her.'' The agents, she said, told her that they
were awaiting a female agent, and that if she didn't calm down, they
would take her to jail.
