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?

@jjcraig999 Hey jackass, I WAS A FUCKING COP!!! For 6 years. And in those 6 years I realized just how corrupt, fucked up, and criminal MOST police are. Not to mention the fact that they look down on civilians and go out of their way to harass, intimidate, and fuck up everything they possibly can, all while covering each others' asses. It's a FAILURE and the Federalizing of the police forces in this country is on purpose and is NOT in your best interests. I guarantee you that.

They always say its for security. I don't want their security, never asked for it. We are getting softened up, this is only the beginning. They took away our liberty and gave us their protection racket. The TSA Gestapo is here.

Those boys look mighty suspicious and scary to me! Who knows what shenanigans they could get into. I would have tossed them in jail over night to cool them off.

Pre-teen boys are nothing but trouble....

Just teaching the NEXT GENERATION to be GOOD COMMUNIST CITIZENS. I always wondered in the bible how PARENTS would throw their babies into a fiery furnace to the god Moloch and Gladly do it. Well, i am starting to understand now.

Everyone is STILL FLYING. God forbid WE sorry people STAY HOME and Stop flying. We sell our souls for the 'smallest of pleasures" but sadder then that WE SELL the SOULS and FUTURES of our children FOR 'OUR' own selfish desires for pleasure. U deserve NO KIDS!

@tseitz123 Totally agree with you tseitz123, jjcraig99 is a part of the sheeple class. I CANNOT stand dealing with people like him. SHEEPLE!

@MrLivePositive8 That was my thought as well. Children need to know we live under the thumb of tyrants.

[DougWulfram]

This is ridiculos. You people live in a police state. Next you are going to be body searched when you board trains and buses. This will not end there either. Eventually you will all be searched whenever and wherever you are UNLESS you SPEAK out AGAINST this SHIT!

[MrLivePositive8]

Tell the children this is not right and this is not supposed to be normal or else they will believe it and be indoctrinated.

@tseitz123 Man, how many other police officers like you are there? At least 99% I hope, well what's the plan then? How do we restore our rights? Demand them, those assholes won't listen though...hmmm.
