Father's fury as his terrified children, aged two and six, are forced to undergo FULL-BODY pat-downs by TSA agents



A video has surfaced online showing what appears to be a pair of Transportation Security Administration officers giving two young children full-body pat-downs in a U.S. airport.



The one-and-a-half minute clip was shared by user khanzahir100 on YouTube last Friday.



In the description of the video, the man wrote that two TSA agents subjected his two-year-old son and six-year-old daughter to pat-downs because he had been selected - 'as usual' - for a security check due to his name.

A YouTube user posted a video showing TSA agents giving his 2-year-old son (pictured) and the boy's sister a pat-down because they came in contact with their father after he had been selected for a security screening

When the traveler inquired why it is necessary to screen his children, the officers allegedly responded that the boy and girl had come in contact with their father.



The video begins with the young boy nervously moving away from a male TSA screener as he starts to perform a full-body pat-down, gliding his gloved hands down his legs.



The clip continues with the couple's daughter in a pink blouse and grey tights standing barefoot on a mat in front of a kneeling female staffer.



The blonde, bespectacled woman methodically feels her back with her palms, then brushes her buttocks with the back of her hand and inspects her legs.

The agent then goes to face the little girl standing with her arms outstretched and proceeds to examine her chest.

At one point, she smiles and makes funny faces in an apparent attempt to calm down the 6-year-old girl.

The YouTube user wrote that his wife, seen in the video next to the children, was also subjected to a pat-down in a 'rude' manner.



The family is question have not been named, and it remains unknown when and where the alleged screening took place.

Did they break the rules? According to TSA's website, the agency has modified screening procedures for children 12 and under that reduces the likelihood of a pat-down

MailOnline reached out to the TSA Tuesday evening for comment but have yet to receive a reply.



On the agency's website, a section pertaining to young travelers states that 'TSA has modified screening procedures for children 12 and under that reduces the likelihood of a pat-down.'



In 2011, the TSA made a change in its policy for patting down young children at airport checkpoints in response to a public outcry.



In April 2011, a video appeared online showing a 6-year-old girl getting a full body pat-down in the New Orleans airport.

So far, user khanzahir100's video of his children’s screening has been viewed more than 6,200 times, and counting.

The story was initially reported by the blog InfoWars.com run by journalist and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
