    Default Texas Bill RE: Invasive Pat-Downs

    I'd really like to see this bill become law...even if it is in TX. Maybe other states would follow suit:
    Texas Bill Would Make Invasive Pat-Downs a Felony
    Published April 29, 2011 | Associated Press

    FORT WORTH, Texas -- A former Miss USA's claims of being groped during a pat-down at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport could be a felony under a bill gaining momentum in the Texas Legislature.

    The bill would make it illegal for a security officer to intentionally touch someone's private areas -- even atop clothing -- unless they have probable cause to believe the person is carrying something illegal.

    Bill sponsor State Rep. David Simpson says the searches are removing people's dignity.

    Last fall the Transportation Security Administration started a new pat-down procedure.

    Susie Castillo, crowned Miss USA in 2003, said she was "molested" during a pat-down last April.

    TSA spokesman Nicholas Kimball says the agency doesn't comment on pending legislation. He says current security measures are the best ways to mitigate the risk of terrorism.

    about time...

    I often wonder why Texas legislators seem to have more common sense than Colorado Legislators.

    Because Texas Legislators are from Texas and Colorado Legislators are from California.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    The TSA was brought into being by the George W. Bush Administration, isn't he from the Lone Star state?
