A mother says that airport screeners treated her daughter like a terrorist. According to Michelle Brademeyer, 4-year-old Isabella ran back through a security checkpoint at Wichita’s airport when her grandmother needed to be re-screened. After the little girl gave her grandmother a hug, TSA agents swooped in and gave the crying girl a full body pat-down.
On her Facebook page, Brademeyer wrote, “It was implied, several times, that my Mother, in their brief two-second embrace, had passed a handgun to my daughter.â€
Former senior FAA official Scott Brenner commented on the case and bluntly said, “What an absolute disaster for TSA! Really? Are the 4-year-olds and the grandmothers, are those the top terror suspects in the world today? That’s who we should be working on?â€
He continued, “When do these jackbooted thugs come in, scowling at this poor little girl, scaring her to death, separating her from her mother? It’s just a disaster.â€
The TSA issued a statement on the situation, saying, “The child had completed screening but had contact with another member of her family who had not complete the screening process. While it was explained to family members why additional security procedures were necessary in this instance, TSA officers did not suspect or suggest the child was carrying a firearm.â€
