I thought the TSA wouldn’t be patting down children anymore?

The TSA has announced that the procedure for pat downs of children are to change. The TSA promises more changes are coming.
Airport security workers will now be told to make repeated attempts to screen young children without resorting to invasive pat-downs, the head of the Transportation Security Administration said Wednesday. The agency is working to put that change in place around the country, and it should reduce, but not eliminate, pat-downs for children, an agency spokesman said.
The only real acceptable change would be to eliminate the TSA.
Terrorists in other countries have used children as young as 10 years old as suicide bombers, Pistole said, although that hasn’t happened in the U.S. “We need to use common sense,” he told lawmakers.
Unfortunately, the low-paid, low-skilled TSA workers lack common sense. You need skilled individuals who can ask pertinent questions to determine risk. If you hire people from the lower rungs of society, you aren’t going to get employees who can do the job adequately.
It’s a topic a lot of people don’t want to talk about. They are happy to put someone on a sex offender list and forget about the person. As long as the sex offender is not near their child, anything that’s done to them is okay.
“Not only are we going to hold you accountable, but we’re going to watch you,” says Wilson.
This is absolutely about punishing them again. It’s just tossed under the “protecting the children” guise so that people will feel better about unjustly continuing punishment against sex offenders.
The registry and notification system is for a sex offender life, even if the crime was committed as a juvenile.
That’s right, sleep with your girlfriend when you are both under age and you’re labeled for life in South Carolina. The sex offenders don’t have a chance to ever get off the list. It does little to actually help children or keep them safe.
One of the proposed changes is to remove a person if they haven’t re-offended in 15 years. This is a first step in changing the stigma of sex offenders as the lists do not provide details of what happened and the circumstances involved. If murderers, rapists, burglars, and thieves get a second chance, why no sex offenders?
Hundreds of schools have begun monitoring children in the past few year with the United Kingdom intent on stepping up the pace in the new year. Biometrics and CCTV are the most prevalent with many schools in Scotland planning on introducing or expanding schemes in the coming year.
