It gets worse: Ryan Thomas was en route to Orlando, to celebrate his fourth birthday at Disney World. Now we know how the Grinch got his start: airport security.

Ryan's parents complained; a TSA higher-up overruled them. The boy eventually made it through the security checkpoint, walking solo without his leg braces (the screener would not allow Ryan's mother to hold his hand) without injuring himself. Hopefully he had the greatest birthday of his life in Orlando. (Which shouldn't have been hard, since he's four.) [PhillyInq] [Pic, not of Ryan Thomas, via AP]

Rebecca Solomon, a University of Michigan student who was returning to college after the winter break was going through security at the Philadelphia airport when she was stopped by a TSA worker who pulled a plastic bag full of white powder out of her laptop bag and questioned her about it while she stood there in tears. Finally, the worker admitted he had planted the bag there as a prank. The TSA is only confirming that the worker was disciplined and no longer works there. This story, while scary and crazy, is just further evidence that those full body scans will result in naked celebrity photos.
