The TSA - cruel, callous, idiotic.

TSA forces travelling policeman to remove his disabled four-year-old son's leg-braces Boing Boing:

"Philadelphia TSA screeners forced the developmentally delayed, four-year-old son of a Camden, PA police officer to remove his leg-braces and wobble through a checkpoint, despite the fact that their procedure calls for such a case to be handled through a swabbing in a private room. When the police officer complained, the supervising TSA screener turned around and walked away. Then a Philadelphia police officer asked what was wrong and 'suggested he calm down and enjoy his vacation.'"
