Traveling with a baby is never easy—just ask Alec Baldwin!

After the 30 Rock star and wife Hilaria Baldwin enjoyed some R&R with daughter Carmen in the Bahamas, they headed to the airport to make their way back to New York. But before they could board the plane, Alec said his little girl was stopped by security for a pat-down!

"Flying from Nassau, Bahamas 2 NY. TSA 'random selects' my 5 month old daughter 4 a pat down. am not kidding." he tweeted Monday, Jan. 28.

One tweeter pointed out that "TSA doesn't exist in Nassau, Bahamas since it isn't in the USA." (The TSA confirms they do not do screening at this airport and they would not pat down any child under 12.) Alec acknowledged his error, writing back, "So, I guess there is a TSA-like function as you go through US customs in Nassau. But you sophisticate, you! You got me."

Fortunately, the rest of the Baldwin family's trek home went well. Hilaria even did some yoga while flying! She Instagrammed a funny photo of herself mid-position in the aisle of first class as her fellow passengers looked on with slightly confused expressions. "I'm sorry," she wrote, "You've never seen airplane pose at 35,000 feet? #yogapostureoftheday #hilariaypd thank you to all my fellow passenger yoga buddies!"

Now that is commitment to fitness!
