That makes about as much sense as when I saw several screeners telling a mother that only one person at a time could go through the WTMD, and that she couldn't carry her baby through the WTMD with her. The folks actually had her hand the Baby through the WTMD to a screener, and then had her walk through seperately. That is idiocy, and from what Bart has said in the past is not policy. What is next, we have to remove the diaper from the baby as we all know what kind of dangerous liquid/gel like material can be hiding in those. And if you check the published rules for monkey screening you have to remove the monkey's diaper, so why not the baby now?
