She said security personnel then came out and told her they would need for her mother to remove her diaper because it was soiled and was impeding their search.

Koshetz said the procedures are the same for everyone to ensure national security.
“TSA cannot exempt any group from screening because we know from intelligence that there are terrorists out there that would then exploit that vulnerability,” she said.

The 10yo daughter rule prohibits me from commenting the way that I would like to.

I'm pretty sure that the OP would have been over the barrel on this. The Youtube recordings are almost always made by a third party because TSA separates you from everything to go through the metal detector. If they deem that you need to be searched further, as I have been several times at several different airports, you are not permitted to touch anything while the search is conducted. I'll admit that it has been a year or more since my last search (because it has been that long since I flown) so policies may have changed.

I would agree that it was probably not the best strategy to press the "hurry up" button. I would have gone into my best Drama Queen routine and claimed that I was in pain and might collapse on the floor if I couldn't sit down. A little "the doctor told me not to try to stand this long" might have punctuated the routine. My experience with all government types is that the more in a hurry you are, the less in a hurry they are. DMV, IRS, etc. Anyone who doesn't believe that many of these types of people love squashing the little bugs under their toes must have have dealt with different bureacrats that I have. I would never dream of asking an LEO to hurry with anything. I don't see the TSA any differently in that regard.
