Okay, so I ask you: what do you honestly think are the chances that a Caucasian pre-teen female in America is a terrorist with intentions of taking down a commercial aircraft? Or is being used as a mule to carry weapons onto a plane by an adult terrorist? Or is any kind of a threat to aviation safety
at all?
1 in 10? 1 in 100? 1 in...oh...say...700 million?
I'm sorry, but the infinitesimal chance that she might be a suicidal terrorist carrying explosives is simply not worthy of violating her privacy and 4th Amendment rights by performing a prison-style frisk on a pre-pubescent child.
If that was my daughter, I would have made a HUGE stink, and demanded that LEO be present, and that I be allowed to video her frisk. I do not allow strangers to touch my children. The very idea makes my blood boil.
