I'd sure be curious to hear what the possible justification can be for searching people who are GETTING OFF of a train.

What could they possibly threaten you with this time? Do you want to walk out of the train station today? If you refuse, do you have to get back on the train? What's the justification? This is beyond stupid. I can't even comprehend..... I would think a LEO would HAVE to be on your side here. This is, just, so...... I honestly can't think of anything......
