Sorry, that's the world we live in now. ....
First, "braces" are not a prosthetic limb. Second, It'd be pretty easy to load up a butt hole with explosive or a non-metallic weapon. --as the bad-guys have already proven.

So, WTH good comes from harassing 4-year-old disabled kid and/or parents?

I'm surprised that there isn't an ADA law suit against TSA. --There should be. TSA is out of freaking control.
