After incidents like this pat-down of an infant at a Kansas City airport landed the Transportation Security Administration in a public relations mess, the head of the agency said this morning that TSA has changed its policies regarding the screening of small children.
Speaking to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, TSA chief John Pistole said screeners have been told to make repeated attempts to screen young children instead of resorting to a pat-down.
Even so, Senator Rand Paul took Pistole to task over the screening of children:

I really don't see the big deal. If they stop searching infants/toddlers, then guess who carries the bombs onto the planes?
Seriously people, my children, my spouse and I have all been patted down, pulled out and searched. It is really not a huge deal. My children didn't think much of it either. This is the way of life if you chose to fly, get over it.
