A six-year-old terrorist?

Why don’t I trust the government to do things right? When they’re fully convinced that a six-year-old girl is some sort of terrorist. I don’t care how nice they were to her, the security people should have never had to do that to a little girl — period. Quoted:

My daughter was scared and shaken up by the ordeal and told us that she “hated it.” At least the security people were polite to her. But they were like polite robots, unable to laugh at the fact that someone had mistakenly pegged a little girl as a potential terrorist. No, they insisted that she had to take off her shoes and get patted down and have a wand passed over her body and have her Hello Kitty suitcase opened and examined with a fine toothed comb.

Salon has a good editorial about this.
