Man scans grandson through security x-ray (NM)
(I nominate the courthouse security officer for DUMBASS of the century!)



Eyewitness News 4 has learned a security officer at the Valencia County District Courthouse is in big trouble after putting a small boy on the conveyer belt and scanning him through the X-ray machine.

Like all X-ray machines at courthouses, the machine at the courthouse is meant for scanning briefcases, purses, and preventing weapons from getting inside. But last week it was used as a dangerous stunt to impress a 9-year-old boy.

"He had the child lay on the conveyer belt and had him go through the X-ray machine to show him his internal organs." Says Deputy Chris Trujillo, Public Information Officer for the Valencia County Sheriff's Office.

Trujillo says once the boy was inside the machine, the security officer snapped a picture of the X-ray image and showed it to the boy.

5. Comments: "It's just like Obamacare."
:eyes: I didn't even read any further. 50/50 say it was no big deal and rag on the mom for ratting out the grandfather.
