Mom speaks out after 6 year old daughter groped by TSA

A couple in Kentucky said on Wednesday they wanted the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to change how it screened children after their 6-year-old daughter was frisked at the New Orleans airport. Selena Drexel said that the family was returning home from a vacation earlier this month when their daughter Anna was selected for a pat-down. The couple posted a video of the search on YouTube. It shows a female TSA agent patting down the child and explaining the procedure to the girl and her parents. The screener says that she will use the back of her hands on sensitive areas and will "put my hand in the waistband."
