3 year old doesnt want to go to Disney World after TSA incident

Really, this thread title is misleading. It should be more like "3 year old didn't want to go to Disney World while separated from her toy and iPad".

Sorry if I put a "misleading" title on this thread but with all due respect we dont live in a "perfect" world. I skimmed through the article and saw where the kid said "she didnt want to go to disney world" and thats how I came up with the title.

I think both the parents and TSA share the blame for this going downhill. Parents most definately need to prepare children for security and not freak out if the child has to get secondary screening. Both my children have had secondary at least once(DS was 6 months old his first) and because the TSA and myself were very calm and the kids knew this might happen, they didn't think twice about it.
And when DS was very young and had a "blankie". We just told him it was going on a fun ride and we'd see "him" in a minute. Easy peasy. Some TSA may need more training in making things like this bearable for children.

Maybe TSA could hand out wizard stickers that say "I was wanded today" lol. (I was going to say bear but suddenly thought of wizards... See what I did there)

Yeah, it's across the board the job of parents not to visible freak out. Blood pouring out of your kid... Oh, we're just gonna take a little ride to the hospital, etc. frightened parents create frightened kids.
