(CNN) -- The backlash against passenger pat-downs appears to be gaining steam as more holiday travelers head to the airport, with a new viral online video further fueling critics of screening procedures.
The short clip shows a shirtless boy receiving a pat-down from a Transportation Security Administration agent. His father watches, hands on his hips, obstructing part of the view.
But the words playing in the background are clear.
"Are they harassing a kid?" one man asks.
"It's ridiculous," another voice chimes in. "Unbelievable".
Finance student Luke Tait said he started recording the incident with his cell phone when he saw the "visibly upset" father while waiting in line Friday at the airport in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"It was an interesting situation. I never saw a little boy with his shirt off getting a pat-down," Tait said.
