Wonder if the author did some research here at FT; I've seen several of the suggestions here for months (if not years).
I agree with the not shouting. We tried that at SAT, but ended up having more bag checks, as not as many people were informed what to do. But I think over time, it would eventually work, maybe.
However, the other ones mentioned I think would just bring ridicule down on TSA from the members of this site. I mean, really, considering how some of you feel about TSOs, do you want them handing out candy to children?
BTW, I HAVE done this before, and it works! Hand a crying child a piece of candy does wonders to calm them down while they get through the checkpoint, despite what some of you might think of me for doing it
and yes, I have always asked the parents permission to do so first.
