Here's a story a couple in Kentucky say you have to see to believe.

Selena Drexel said her family was returning home from a vacation earlier this month when their 6-year old daughter Anna was selected for a pat-down.

A video shows a female TSA  agent patting down the child, even putting her fingers down the front of the child's pants.

The mom says she believes such searches are inappropriate for children because they're usually told not to let adults touch them in sensitive areas.

The TSA security administration says the officer followed proper procedure.

Has the TSA gone to far in their searches? Let us know what you think.
