Infant goes through airport X-ray machine
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A woman sent her 1-month-old grandson through an X-ray machine at Los Angeles International Airport, security officials said Wednesday.
The woman, who spoke little English and was traveling to Mexico, put the infant in a plastic bin used to hold loose carry-on items for security scanning at the busy airport Saturday morning.
Security screeners saw the baby as it started to pass through, pulled the bin out, and immediately sought medical assistance for the child, Transportation Security Administration spokesman Nico Melendez said.
The baby was examined at a local hospital and judged not to have received a dangerous dose of radiation.
"The lady obviously mistakenly put the baby in the machine. It was an unfortunate incident," Melendez said.
Airport officials said it was an innocent mistake by an inexperienced traveler and only the second such incident there since 1988, when a baby in a car seat went through an X-ray scanner.

baby in microwave > baby in x-ray machine.
what i am confused about is the fact that wasnt there ANYONE in front of her going through security or behind her? wasnt there any security personal standing by the machine to make sure you were putting proper and all items in the bin for the x-ray machine ( ofcourse besides the ppl who view the x-ray screen )
if you are a airline traveler i am sure you would know and have seen security people who stand right next to the machine to make sure you put all the items through it and then you empty your pockets as well in a smaller bin and then you walk through the detector. |

lol WOW
As far as there being people before and after you, yes that is usually the case but on overnight flights I have usually been the only one going through security that time of night.. so that could explain it. |
