Pat Down or Rub Down?

   The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is being forced to review air passenger screening procedures for young children.  Selena Drexel, mother of a 6 year old girl, states that the family was in the New Orleans Airport when the incident occurred. After posting the video on Youtube, Drexel and her husband claimed that the TSA agent who patted down their daughter was too aggressive. The video showed the TSA agent inspecting around the waistline of the girl, a normal procedure. According to Drexel, parents strive to teach their children the importance of personal space and not being touched inappropriately, but a procedure such as the pat down permits people to touch children inappropriately. You be the judge: Was this a pat down or a rub down???
