Does the secret service have the resources to investigate a facebook post by a 13 year old, with only 7 friends?

Clearly they do....

Someone at the school should be fired for allowing the interrogation to take place.

On second thought I am more upset with the school district, based on the information available. It does not look like the principle was even in the room?

It's good to know where all this job creation money is going towards.

I strongly suspect the real goal of the Secret Service was to make sure it was, in fact, a 13-year-old boy, not someone posing as one or using the Facebook account as a front for something.

We have a policy of investigating all threats as potential problems. I don't see what's wrong with that.

Do we no longer care that they interrogated a minor without a legal Guardian present?

I'm trying to figure out how they could possibly interpret that as a threat, regardless of the age of the submitter.

Makes you wonder what the Secret Service would do if they saw some of the thread here in Hellfire :p

Why do you think I wave at them occasionally?

This is nothing new. This is hardly the first time they have had to check threats from idle school children.
