Alec Baldwin took to Twitter yet again to air his grievances. Another day, another Twitter tirade.
After enjoying a winter escape to the Bahamas with wife Hilaria Baldwin and their 5-month-old daughter Carmen, Alec made it clear that he was less-than-pleased with his Nassau airport departure experience.
Flying from Nassau, Bahamas 2 NY. TSA "random selects" my 5 month old daughter 4 a pat down. I am not kidding. #travelinginUSisadisgrace

Apparently, the 55-year-old actor must have rambled a number of facts during his online tirade because a senior Homeland Security official told NBC News Tuesday that the TSA neither screens passengers in the Bahamas nor pats down any child under the age of 12, Us Weekly reports.
Also, the Bahamas is not a U.S. territory, so the TSA would not responsible for Alec's daughter's pat down.
One Twitter user explained this to Alec, who responded, "So, I guess there is a TSA-like function as you go through US customs in Nassau. But you sophisticate, you! You got me."
So the people that patted down my daughter were not TSA, though we were inbound to the US. Got it. Got it. No, really.... I got it.

Thankfully, Alec's airport experience didn't seem to affect the family's flight experience. Alec's wife, 29, took to the aisles of first class to stretch into a yoga pose.
What do you think? Should children be pat down in ANY airport?
