That's another one of the many things that tells you that
even the TSA doesn't think the children they are bodysearching have anything about to go kaboom on them other than their diapers.
Here's the decision tree:

a - NO: If so, keep your hands off his body.
b - YES: If so, immediately marshal all of the resources of our society in his behalf.
