Brademeyer said that a TSO began yelling at her daughter, would not permit her to pass through the scanner again and said that a pat-down was necessary. Isabel, according to her mother, was wearing Mary Jane shoes, a short-sleeve shirt and leggings that did not have pockets.

My Grandma used to slip me grenades when she baked me cookies.ITM!
We need videos, and plenty of it.
Words won’t do the job, and the yelling (par me, “tone”) of the officer to a 4 year old on national TV can go much farther than any complain.
Only in this way the public can react strong enough to put a stop to this nonsense.
Everyone has phones with video-cameras, why no one is filming those things?
“Only in this way the public can react strong enough to put a stop to this nonsense.” is nonsense. You can’t allow Government this much power and than fight about how it is used. Pointless.
The only way public can fight this is by their votes. For election at every Government level and function the first demand must be: do you want smaller or bigger, more powerful or weaker Government. Only when majority kicks ass of every politician who wants bigger and more powerful Government no matter the Left or Right can we expect decrease of these abusive treatments across the board. You can’t vote for BigGovernment guy who gives you goodies and expect no payment for that in your life. TSA and its practices are results of Progressive Big Government Right Bush and Progressive Big Government Left Obama (and all of their Progressive minions below).
So, out with Obama, out with Reid, out with McConnell, out with Boehner, out with Pelosi, out with every single politician who does not have as a first priority SMALLER Government and WEAKER Government. Enough paying in freedoms for the Big one.
That is not the only way to fight such abuses of power. That is the “safe” way, to say you did something, and then blame it on everyone else who had to obviously been the one to vote the person in. This is not freedom, for freedom carries responsibilities. This is the pass the buck corporate culture that continues to use humanity as a resource, instead of giving them value.
The mother should file sexual assault charges against these bozos.
Those guys don’t look like dentists…
Those gun-toting, granny-hugging 4 year old terrorists who are a threat to national security AND doesn’t pay their fair share must be stopped at any price before they become a pandemic!
This guy wouldn’t put is clothes on!

No pleasing some people
T.S.A. -> S-U-X
Government monopoly on weapons means people are subjects not citizens, and will be treated that way.
The TSA seem to be grasping at straws to justify the value, expense and inconvenience their intrusive security inspections provide and groping kids and old ladies in the process. I agree with those that are saying we need more irrefutable photos and/or videos of these outrageous tactics.
Bwahahaha…
“is reviewing the passenger’s screening experience to determine whether procedures were appropriately applied.”
They don’t give a shit about you, the child, your travel experience, or anything else. (By the way, if a child should be run through a naked bawdy scanner, can the TSA be charged with making available and encouraging viewing child pornography? [Chew on that for a bit. {How do you know that whoever is watching the pictures isn’t sitting there with his pants around his ankles and his hand around his cock?}])
Little did you realize that you were handing over the constitution and all of your liberties to people who are going to shed the lot without even being educated enough to read the management precis.
The DHS (of which the TSA is an integral part,) is the 12,400 rich bastard’s fascist oligarch’s plot to make the gummint’s job of controlling you easier.
The longer you cower in your basements thinking of what material things you have to lose, the more you fritter away whatever freedoms you thought you had left.
Most children between 2 and 6 are Domestic terrorist, usually they stick to terrorizing their own families…
How about something like, “We’re sorry ma’am, we know it’s silly, but since your daughter exited the screened area, we need to do a pat-down. We’re sorry, but it’s just a formality. Thanks and have a nice flight.” You catch more flies (or terrorists, maybe) with honey than vinegar.
“You catch more flies (or terrorists, maybe) with honey than vinegar.”
You catch even more with shit, and when it comes to that particular commodity, the TSA’s cup runneth over.
