As they were trying to fly to Disney for a family vacation, a three year old boy got a pat down before flying. He broke his leg and was in a wheelchair. His father videoed the pat down and posted it on YouTube.
When in a wheelchair, the security really checks you out. Regular scans can't see everything in a chair. So they physically pat you down and take swabs of chairs. In this video, they swab his back and front. He is scared but they don't allow physical touch. His father comforts him verbally.
Being in a wheelchair and flying, I have had my share of pat downs. I don't like it but understand why they do it. You just never know who is flying or their intentions. As a parent, I wouldn't like having my three year old patted down without me comforting them. But it is better safe than sorry.
If something did happen and could've been prevented through pat down, people would be furious.
