Seriously, a 3-4 year old? I'm in a "benefit of the doubt" mood today. Any chance it was just a TSO trying to be friendly? Note: Does not apply if the TSO actually said, "whatever."

Might have been (TDC being friendly).
I wouldn't get militant about it, but I really don't like TSOs getting 'friendly' with kids now. Sorry, I just can't reconcile 'friendly' gestures - kind words, maybe candy - from someone in uniform who might subsequently want to look into that same kid's diaper, run their hands through the kid's hair, all over their body. With the (kid's perspective) creepy blue gloves!
It just isn't appropriate anymore. It's kind of like little girls and boys sitting on the teacher's lap. Just isn't the best idea these days.
