I don't have a problem with them screening everyone - including 4-year-old disabled kids. The most offensive thing I thought was forcing the boy (sans braces) to "walk himself through" the detector. That was over the top. But screening him? Nope. No problem with that at all. The part about making him remove the prosthetics is a toss-up. Might be necessary and from a security standpoint probably a good idea. It'd be pretty easy to load up a prosthetic limb with explosive or a non-metallic weapon.
Sorry, that's the world we live in now. But I definitely think the mom should have been allowed to go through with him and/or they should have been offered separate screening.
This is a sensationalist story that's mostly about nothing.
