After going through the X-ray and being taken in, the same officer started bashing me in front of the women’s search booth. After a verbal discussion, they took me to the search cabin with my 15-month-old baby. 2 officers strip searched my baby. I said not to do it and I cried, they ended it by saying “ok it’s over”. When I got out of the cabin, I saw that my 10-year-old daughter, who came out of the other cabin, was crying too.
