Perhaps you should recall the stories of terrorists strapping bombs to little kids, then? They have the kids walk up to a checkpoint, the soldiers go "how cute", let the kid get close, and the adult watching from a bush pushes a button.
Wouldn't take much to do the same in an airport. Or use the kid to carry a weapon for someone else on the plane.

This was a five-year old kid, with no backpacks and no way of concealing a weapon or any object on her person. Neither was she of a Middle-eastern family. There was no logical reason for her to be searched.
Peggy Noonan wrote a piece awhile back saying that our "non-discriminatory" policies in this regard would get people killed. Kids and grannies get "randomly searched" while young Arab men get a pass because we don't want to look like we're "discriminating".
