TSA stops yet another kid-who-is-not-a-terrorist

Oh brother! Poor kid!

Apparently Schilling’s 12-year-old son who was also travelling with him, forgot to leave his fake grenade at home...the Schilling family was taken into a private room to explain the incident and were allowed to continue their journey after the incident was resolved.

The last hold-out?

I am surprised that there are any airports left without naked scanners. But, Syracuse is about to get its first one:

TSA had been waiting until a bigger checkpoint was built that could accommodate the expensive devices, Airport Executive Director Christina Callahan said...

This particular write-up is actually less pandering about the scanners than I typically see. Even the final "postive" quote is nuanced:

“I in no way feel uncomfortable when going through a full-body scanner,” said [passenger] Hernandez. “Going through a metal detector is only a few seconds quicker so it’s not really an extra hassle. If full-body scanners are helping airport security be more efficient and trustworthy then I’m all for them.” [Emphasis mine.]

That's a pretty big "If!"
