Unfortunately since I have to deal with TSehhhh every day at work, this is a routine event.
Common sense would dictate to put Lamby through the x-ray machine and make a game of it with the kid, when the stuffed animal is cleared, hand it back to the kid. I will say the agents in Orlando are better than most airports due to the sheer volume of families they see, especially handicapped children due to Give Kids the World events.
If there are any serious threats via planes or an airport, it will be via TSehhhh agents who are recruited that do not get screened as they enter through the checkpoints. This is all an expensive, time-consuming dog and pony show. Notice all those backscanners being scrapped because they couldn't develop software to correctly identify threats without showing the whole human image? That was a few billion of wasted money to some well-connected contractor.
The agents have gone so far as to go into non-public areas "screening and checking". They wanted to look around the offices one day. I told them their jurisdiction is to securethe sterile areas of the airport, not my office in a non-secure area of the airport.
As an aside, I see more non-happy families at Disney World than anywhere else. The cost-time reward between flights, hotels, meals, planning to watch shows, character breakfasts, princess/pirate make up sessions and seeing all the characters let alone the actual attractions has driven families to go from open to close with crank kids and tired parents, just to get their money's worth. It used to be go as the park opens, go around for a few hours, go to the hotel and take a nap and break and come back in the afternoon. Now it is 12 hours of heat exhaustion, kids who aren't used to walking that much, parents who aren't used to being around each other that much, and $18.99 light up Mickey balloons.
