That said, I've not seen the video, and, as I said, I'm not keen on these procedures for anyone.

I'm not a parent, so take this for what it's worth, but I suspect this is more of an issue for the parent than the child. I would not want anyone else laying hands on my child, especially in sensitive areas. You'd think that there is a compromise here, where the parent could be the one actually touching the child at the instruction and to the satisfaction of the TSA agent. Would be interested to hear from the parents out there on this one.
