James Woods and Larry the Cable Guy get President Trump's attention on TSA pat-down video from 2017

James Woods and Larry the Cable Guy shared this video of a boy getting a TSA pat-down which ultimately got a reaction from President Trump.

First up, here’s the video:

“Not a good situation!” tweeted the president:

The video, however, is from 2017. From the Washington Post:

TSA defends pat-down of Texas boy; countless others creeped out

And the TSA already explained why the boy needed the enhanced pat-down:

As you may have heard, on Sunday at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), a 13-year-old passenger underwent enhanced security screening, which included a pat-down, after his laptop alarmed an explosives trace detection machine. In total, the pat-down took approximately two minutes, and was observed by the mother and two police officers who were called to ease concerns of the mother. The passengers were at the checkpoint for approximately 45 minutes, which included the time it took to discuss screening procedures with the mother and to screen three carry-on items that required further inspection.

The mother filmed the pat-down and posted it to Facebook. It has since gone viral.

So is this standard procedure? TSA screening procedures allow for the pat-down of children under certain circumstances. In this instance, a laptop alarmed the explosives trace detection machine, which requires additional screening to resolve the alarm.

We get it. Nobody likes to be patted down. And nobody likes to see their loved ones patted down, especially children. TSA screens thousands of families every day, and our officers are trained to communicate with parents, explain screening procedures before they begin, and find the best way to get everyone to their plane safely and efficiently. Many of our officers are parents too.

So, maybe this will finally get a little more attention?
