Joining us Selena Drexel and her husband Doctor Todd Drexel from their home from Bowling Green Kentucky. Thank you very much for getting up and being with us this morning. I know it’s very important for you to talk about this, can you just give us a little more background Selina, I know you have a nine year old Grace, a two year old Caroline and they were with you too.

[Selena Drexel]
Yes

Walk us through what happened Selina.

[Selena Drexel]
We were leaving New Orleans from a family vacation and when we proceeded to go through the security line ah, we were selected to go through the new screening procedures ah, Anna was picked to go through. Pretty much everyone except for the baby was picked to go through the scanner, and for some reason Anna was selected for pat down, I can only speculate as to why I didn’t get a lot of information although I did ask questions as to why she was being selected for pat down. I didn’t really get a lot of information. I did ask for alternative, I did ask for her to be re-scanned. And was refused.

But they didn’t give you any

[Selena Drexel]
I choose to video tape it because they they just said they refused and said they are going to do what they are going to do. And ah, no verbally but in no uncertain terms apparently the TSA supervisor’s skilled at non-verbal communication letting me know there would be trouble if I – if I caused a fuss!

[Commentator]
But nothing was said because we saw

The TSA agent that was patting down your daughter was being as gentle as possible.

Right

[Commentator]
But absolutely I understand

[Selena Drexel]
That agent was was acting – was doing what she

[Commentator]
Right

What she was instructed to do. There was an agent off camera.

Todd what was Anna’s reaction as this was happening, afterwards?

[Todd Drexel]
I think initially she was just confused. But she’s very respectable to adults, “yes ma’am”, “yes, ma’am”, she was asked to do

Ya

[Todd Drexel]
And afterward she broke down crying cause she really didn’t understand what she done wrong. And we were really struggling with how do we explain this because it really stressed her, you know, to be touched, touched here, in certain places and now she’s been pat down in a public setting in an airport and she was upset and crying. And we had to try to explain this to her. It was very difficult.

I’m sure it was very confusing to her, and yet we could hear her, she’s so well mannered, and we could hear her saying: “yes, ma’am”, to the agent. There are a lot of question to why you decided to post this on Youtube for others to see and what is your hope to come of this Selena?

[Selena Drexel]
Well, ah, my reason for posting it, was that we just had a very bad feeling that that what happened was wrong and I posted it out there to get other peoples opinions on it, and to see, to get some other peoples thoughts on it. Ah, we felt that it was inappropriate. We struggle to teach our child to protect themselves, to say no, to say it’s not okay for folks to touch me in this way, in these areas and yet, here we are, you know, okay, its okay for these people. We feel that for children especially the answer should always be “No”. That there needs to be different screening procedures especially for children and if we don’t find other ways we’re making them more vulnerable to people that would harm them in that manner.

[Commentator]
Well you both bring up some excellent points and we know that the TSA does the best job that they can, and a lot of people know that because of the world we live in right now, very difficult circumstances and they too have said they need to review their polices. Thank you very much for bringing this to light and we hope that Anna and your two other little girls are doing alright. Thank you both.

[Selena Drexel]
Thank you. Good morning.

Have a good day.
