If you implemented a ZERO threat (as you said) for teenagers and grannies it simply means they would themselves or others would use them to hide things on their person, luggage, etc. We do not profile based upon the ignorant comment that we can know that these types of people are ZERO threats, we thus randomly screen. Jeez! You are having a difficult time understanding the point of the present laws. All terrorists are not Islamic nor do terrorists, or for that matter drug or weapon smugglers, use willing subjects. To assume that outright and say ZERO threat is dumb and since we can't profile guess what they get screened. Hello!
And you base this speculation upon what? That they have used children and old people in Islamic countries? They will kidnap/intimidate/blackmail American senior citizens or children into doing their bidding? (Should we get Liam Neeson on the case?) They will radicalize American Christian senior citizens and American children most interest in Fortnite? You're being ridiculous.

Nobody gets a pat down or cavity search no need to take shoes off too. May as well roll out the welcome mat to terrorists. This is what those who are insulted must want!

If you don't think what was done at 1:00 and 1:05 of that video is squeezing genitals, maybe you don't know what genitals are?

Sure! Keep up the BS! Why do you keep insisting on Islam as your point of reference when my points are more general regarding your claims. You just can not have an intellectually honest discussion can you! Here is the first post I responded to now you are onto Islamic kidnapping as if I'm arguing for such a thing. Moron!

If we waste time and resources searching people who we know are zero threat risks, we really aren't serious about stopping terrorist acts.
You can't know that something is a ZERO threat risk. And if you want profiling then you will have to convince the left that this a good thing - good luck. Until then we have to screen without profiling.

You were arguing that you can know that they are ZERO threat. I simply told you that was stupid and you can't handle it.

Yeah, that makes sense! Maybe you don't know what squeezing is - try wrapping your head around that.

That said, this is still ridiculous, you should be able to tell just by looking at this kid that he is not a terrorist.
Yes, of course. But that would put you in conflict with the narrative that anyone might be a terrorist and profiling is the ultimate evil.

Normally, kids don't get patted down. Whenever I fly with my kids, we all walk through the metal detector. I make sure non of us are wearing anything that sets off the detector.
But always when I fly with my kids, nothing like this have ever happened. We are approached by TSA and told to keep the kids shoes on.

Idk...i think the video is creepy. And parents should not be embarrassing their son by making this public either.
