The children angle reminds me of something very scary and sad I saw at CMH recently. A mom was going through the line with an approx 4-6 year old son. ID checker checks mom's ID and BP, looks at child's BP and then stoops down and looks at the child

"What is your name"?

The boy replied with his name.


The revenue checker/ma-pa kettle satisfier looked carefully at the boy and let them go.

I recall questions like this being asked years ago on a land crossing to Canada, but that's reasonable since its changing borders - not simply flying on a plane!

The guy asking the kid for his name to be able to travel made me think I was in the old Eastern Europe. Really Hacked me off!
