CHICAGO -- Even two years after he shot video of his then 3- year-old son Rocco sitting in a wheelchair, in a body cast, at Chicago's Midway airport, Matt DuBiel is uneasy about what he saw that day.
"I'm pretty angry," he recalls as he watched the video again, "I start talking to my wife and I noticed he's shaking," says DuBiel.
DuBiel says he rediscovered the clip from 2010 this past weekend, looking over old family clips with his oldest son.
He was troubled explaining to him that he stood there and watched a TSA employee swab his younger brother's legs, arms, even his bare back for more than three minutes.
This happened before the TSA changed guidelines for child screenings.
It released this statement: "The new modified screening measures have greatly reduced, though not eliminated, pat- downs of children.
While recognizing that terrorists are willing to manipulate societal norms to evade detection, our officers continue to work with parents to ensure a respectful screening process for the entire family at the checkpoint."
DuBiel doesn't fault the employee, heard on the video talking with Rocco, saying he was just following protocol.
