A recent incident at an airport security checkpoint has highlighted a Transportation Security Administration rule that is causing distress for some children. A 7-year-old girl, Emree, had her collection of NeeDoh stress toys confiscated by a TSA officer. The toys, which are filled with a soft gel, had been carefully collected by Emree during a summer vacation in Portland, Maine.

Her mother, Molly Glassheim, was present when the incident occurred and reported that the TSA officer apologized for having to take the toys. Further details about the incident and the TSA rule that led to the confiscation of the toys are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
