Moms, Grandmothers, Children, Sensitivity & the TSA


    What has happened to sensitivity, common sense, decency in the way adults treat little kids, whether those adults are agents of the TSA or others?  How is it that some TSA agents can ignore the normal upset of a 4-year-young girl when she goes to hug her grandmother, and, instead, the TSA agents call this child a "suspect," grab her, which has her yelling more, as the girl is frightened that she is about to be kidnapped?  Then, to make matters worse, the TSA defends the behavior of these very foolish agents -- @http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/25/tsa-defends-pat-down-of-c_n_1454410.html?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl3%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D155375.  


      As stated in the article, either the agents could have used a wand, put the girl through the scan again, or other techniques rather than look to isolate her in a room by herself (with strangers, something this child was taught to be wary of) or do a "modified" patdown, as the child had hugged her grandmother after the child had been scanned yet before the grandmother had been scanned.  Yes, we have to do something to "guard against terrorists," and, yes, terrorists can show up in any guise, age, background, racial grouping, manner of dress, and the like.  Yet and all, why do some adults throw any modicum of sense they may possess out the window and behave like petty dictators when faced with a circumstance of power-over someone?  Perhaps the TSA has to both hire people with more intelligence and the ability to think quickly in situations, as well as better train the agents they have.  Certainly, there has to be a shift.


      How do we have some measure of security while flying yet also protect people's individual rights and dignity?


      How do we each individually and we collectively as a nation live with integrity?  Do you live with integrity?  Does your partner?  Your child or your children?  Do you know what integrity is?  Integrity is being real, authentic, honest, present and complete in the moment, doing what you say you'll do, and being accountable and responsible for your word, behavior, actions, emotions.  When you "mess up," take responsibility and do it better the next time.

      Where are you with this?  This country?  Politicians?  The TSA?

      Share with me...........  Let's all grow and evolve here.

      Many blessings to you, me and all of us ongoingly!!!

Love,
