TSA harassing and searching a 9 year old

The only bad thing on our trip was TSA was at the Savannah train station. There were about 14 agents pulling people inside the building and coralling everyone in a roped area AFTER you got OFF THE TRAIN! This made no sense!!! Poor family in front of us! 9 year old getting patted down and wanded. They groped our people too and were very unprofessional. I am all about security, but when have you ever been harassed and felt up getting OFF a plane? Shouldnt they be doing that getting ON??? And they wonder why so many people are mad at them.

TO CLEAR UP A FEW QUESTIONS/COMMENTS:
TSA agents were on the platform when we got OFF the train and told us to go inside to get our checked luggage (this was our first train ride, so we did not know any better)
Our luggage was never inside. It was out on the train platform.
There was a sign that said you are subject to search, however with a group of 20 to 30 walking into a building, you could not see the sign. TSA was waiting at the door and as soon as you crossed the threshold they ushered you into a waiting area to be searched. We told them we did not even want to be in the building, they told us to come into the station. They said too late, you are getting searched. Literally in the building for 2 seconds and could have let us leave and tell us where our luggage really was.
I am not against TSA - I am against government stupidity. If they are supposed to be the Transportations Security Administration - how is this making us SECURE? A search after you get to your destination?

TSA doesn't stop terrorism. sorry. Not even a little bit. The TSA's job is to make people think that they're secure.

Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that? It's so easy to just find a new job. You're obviously a kid that just learned how to use cuss words. Why don't you pick up a book so you don't end up like these poor TSA workers.
