Two-month-old Anna Sakakeep got a clean bill of health this week after she was sent through an airport X-ray scanner Jan. 3.

However, her parents are still angry and vow to sue those responsible for the error.

Bruce and Susan Sakakeep, of Big Trout Lake reserve near Thunder Bay, were travelling home when a Metropol Security officer at the Winnipeg airport insisted their tikinagan be scanned, although the couple repeatedly told officials their baby was inside.

Lawyers are trying to find out who is responsible for the incident and Sakakeep says he'll be seeking about $3,000 in expenses over the mishap.

Transport minister John Crosbie has asked Air Canada and Metrolpol Security for reports on the incident.
