Telling the child that it is a game is one of the most common ways a pedophile uses in order to get the child to submit to inappropriate touching, Wooden says.

After a recent uproar on the groping of children, the TSA announced a new "modified" pat down for children, but it is unclear whether TSA agents can touch children's genitals.

TSA regional security director James Marchand told the press the TSA was working on new practices to make children more comfortable during the pat-down process.

“You try to make it as best you can for that child to come through. If you can come up with some kind of a game to play with a child, it makes it a lot easier,” said Marchand, promising to make it part of TSA training.

You pretty much have to come to the conclusion that whether or not the TSA agent himself or herself is a child sexual predator, the process leaves children more susceptible to being successfully victimized.
