More gel can be stored in a baby's diaper than in their shoes. And which TSAer is going to volunteer to be a diaper monitor & diaper changer?
Does that require danger pay?
Nice not so thinly veiled political commentary. The so-called "state actors" are not sending suicide bombers to board airplanes, so that is a non-sequiter to this thread and this forum.
I agree that it is a waste of time to search babies, but it is not wholly irrational to do so given the low value that the terrorist types place on human life - any life - including that of children and other civilians.
