The Hangout Music Festival

This is really about the Hangout Music Festiva,l but I suspect there are at some of the same owners & the festival is centered around the Hangout Bar/Restaurant - so it does apply if you would want to visit the Hangout Bar/Restaurant during the same days as the festival. I attended the 2015 Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, AL on 5/15 - 5/17/15. Upon entry to the festival, there was security at the gate that frisked me & many others extremely "aggressively." Specifically, they touched my genitals and many others, males & females. I suspect this could be illegal & know it's not reasonable or ethical or commonly done, even in beautiful Gulf Shores. Have you have ever heard of this happening, actually anywhere in the world and in your lifetime? Do you think this is a good ethical, reasonable procedure to expect in trying to attend such an event? Wouldnt it make sense for this business to publically warn paying customers that they can expect to have their genitals touched before entering, in the "name" of an effective safety precaution? Think of possibly attending yourself, or your husband, wife, son or daughter, as this is a family-type of event. Many young females have commented they were violated. Even the TSA doesn't do this - and you could argue that type of search can result in a life-or-death situation.
