If the parent is traveling alone, we ask them to put the baby in the infant seat or stroller after the pat down and then proceed to screen the parent. Hope I helped you. Take care.
Thanks.

So let me get this straight.

One of us takes the kid thru the WTMD and as long as we don't alarm, the kidlet just gets a pat down?

Not to be pissy, but I sure hope a baby pat down is much less invasive than the ones I've gotten in secondary. I guess I could always bring him thru in a diaper and then change him airside.

How do the strollers get thru?
