Maybe the TSA should do something about crying kids in F, that would certainly help to win the hearts and minds of a lot of FTers.

That was in ATL. I don't recall a DOS attack on Twitter, but the TSA Blog Team did end up working late at night on a weekend.

That's all fine and good, but crying 11 year olds do not pose a threat to commercial aviation, so the TSOs should stick to the task at hand; screening for weapons, explosives, and incendiaries. If they think something is amiss with a child, alert a LEO and let the professionals that have the training to deal with this sort of thing do the job.
