Hominid Security: infant edition



"A woman mistakenly put her 1-month-old grandson through an X-ray machine" at LAX. "A startled security worker noticed the shape of a child on the carry-on baggage screening monitor and immediately pulled him out," LA Times reported Wednesday. "The infant was taken to a local hospital, where doctors determined he did not receive a dangerous dose of radiation. "This was an innocent mistake by an obviously inexperienced traveler," said Paul Haney, deputy executive director of airports and security for the city's airport agency. The TSA says it's not their fault, because they don't have enough money to do their job, per Nico Melendez, a Transportation Security Administration spokesman, who "said the agency doesn't have enough workers to constantly stand at tables in front of the screeners to coach travelers. Still, he said the agency works hard to educate passengers."
