I don't give a fuck whether we miss my sister's wedding or my mother's funeral: the federal fucking government will never get away with this bullshit with my family. We write this off saying things like, "Well, it's just their job," and, "What's the harm, really?" Fuck that. Seriously, I'll fucking fight you. Bring your protocol to my family, and I'll show what a real American is.

Is that a stick of dynamite in your diaper or are you just happy to be fondled by strangers?

The trouble with all the vehement argument against these old lady pat downs or wheelchair or baby or whatever is that if you were going to hid a small bomb or some kind of weapon, these would be the prospective ideal person to plant them on. Because nobody would think to check your child diaper for box cutter right? Surely not they'd be considered stupid. Right up until some nutjobs actually do just that. So as silly as it is, to today's security rabid airport this has some sense behind it.

Oh and Rhesus? You can go ahead and fight them if you want... but the reality is you either want to get on that plane or you don't. And one of those requires a pat down these days. Slightly silly? Sure. Still reality. Petition the airlines or something, arguing inside at the checkpoint is idiocy on a whole new scale that affects nothing.

I understand the feeling, but you'll end up in prison, like many Americans, in the country with the highest incarceration rate.>> ^RhesusMonk:

That's right: if we don't finger the toddler, the terrorists win. You have an awful sense of how to effect change in this world. Petition the airline? And you call my idea idiotic?

Highest incarceration rate of any civilization in recorded history. I agree, Rhesus, that it's kind of absurd, but to be frank, suggesting that you would fight a TSA agent is equally moronic. It would be much less of a metaphorical fight for common sense to prevail, and more of a you-getting-tackled-and-mobbed kind of fight that would get you detained, and charged with assault, possibly with elevated charges for it being on a federal agent in an airport.

Did I claim petitioning the airline to be a good idea? No. Is it one of the few genuine options you have? Yes. Sad, but there it is.

security rabid airports have fucking zero sense behind em. the US airport security measures are ineffective in that the primary focus is searching out weapons and/or explosives, as opposed to searching out persons who would use weapons or explosives.
