At some point her daughter started crying again and that enraged TSA officers, she said. They ordered her to stop weeping and when she refused, the TSA called for backup.
“Two TSOs called for backup saying, ‘The suspect is not cooperating.’ the suspect, of course, being a frightened child. They treated my daughter no better than if she had been a terrorist.”
Monty Python makes more sense than the TSA's actions.
I found another account of the same incident:

There are just no words for the deep level of my disgust for the TSA.

we live in turbulent times, without a doubt and with all the attempts by fanatic groups to take innocent lives, we're starting to understand that there are 'no holds barred' when it comes to acts of violence. how many stories of women and children loaded up like pack mules with high explosives and detonated have you read?
if they discover a way through, they'll exploit it.
i agree with you guys who are saying that the TSA is sending a message... i don't think that message is intended for us, though - i think it's directed toward any would be wrong doers.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Rings even truer 253 years later. We should be vigilant, but not to the point that we sacrifice our freedoms in an attempt to grasp a false sense of security.
