I think most people would agree that little kids shouldn't be subjected to pat-downs at the airport, like little Mikey Hicks was last year. Well,

The TSA's latest victim? Six-year-old Anna Drexel, who was selected for a pat-down after she and her family went through the naked machines in a New Orleans airport last month. That's right: as though the naked machine scan isn't mortifying enough, little .

[Anna's mother Serena Drexel] told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday that her daughter began to cry after the search and said, 鈥淚鈥檓 sorry mommy. I don鈥檛 know what I did wrong.鈥�

[鈥�][Serena] Drexel said she鈥檚 concerned because she and her husband Todd, a Bowling Green doctor, have taught their three daughters to be wary of strangers.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) responded quickly to this horrible story by introducing legislation yesterday (!) that would require parental consent before patting down a little kid. that TSA broke its own rules by patting down little Anna: 鈥淭his conduct is in clear violation of TSA鈥檚 explicit policy not to conduct thorough pat-downs on children under the age of 13.鈥� *

In fact, in that same statement, Rep. Chaffetz noted that something even worse happened last year:

In 2010, full committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., wrote to [TSA Chairman John Pistole] after the screening of a four year-old disabled boy who was forced to hobble through a metal detector with neither his leg braces, nor his father鈥檚 assistance.

Currently pending before the House is another great bill: . A bipartisan bill, H.R. 1279 strikes a nice balance between airline safety and protecting our privacy. The bill ensures that body scanners would only be used as a secondary screening by passengers that have failed a metal detector. If a passenger does fail the metal detector search, they will be given the option of a pat-down if they are uncomfortable with the scanner.

Sounds reasonable, right? We think so too.

UPDATE: Which, um, TSA, that's even worse.
