The Native parents of a baby in a cradle board who was put through a baggage X-ray machine by airport security guards at the Winnipeg International Airport have received a

$15,000 out-of-court settlement.

Bruce Sakakeep of Big Trout Lake, Ont. Reached the deal with Metropol Security Ltd. Of Winnipeg last week.

Sakakeep said his baby does not appear to have suffered any physical or mental trauma from the January 1988 incident.
