Texas House Bans Offensive Security Pat-Downs

Linked by Drudge.

The Texas House passed a bill that would make it a criminal offense for public servants to inappropriately touch travelers during airport security pat-downs.


Approved late Thursday night, the measure makes it illegal for anyone conducting searches to touch “the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of another person” including through clothing.

TSA: Back off, Constitution says we can...

What's our take on the Texas House of Representatives voting to ban the current TSA pat-down? Well, the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article. VI. Clause 2) prevents states from regulating the federal government.

So says Blogger Bob, who is part of what the TSA calls the TSA Blog Team.  In other words, we're the Feds and we can do anything to you that we want including fondling your sex organs.
