New Legislation says “No!” to TSA in Texas

Submitted
Rep. David Simpson (R-Longview) introduced a package of bills into the Texas House of Representatives on Tuesday that would challenge the TSA’s authority in a number of ways. The first bill, HB 1938, prohibits full body scanning equipment in any Texas airport and provides for criminal and civil penalties on any airport operator who installs the equipment. The second bill, HB 1937, criminalizes touching without consent and searches without probable cause. (texas.tenthamendmentcenter.com) More...

As uncomfortable and intrusive as TSA is, that would make Texas a bulls-eye for the next entry point for extremists, who have already 'won' by forcing imposition of TSA into our freedoms.

@rwb2112 I think the idea is that you have to start somewhere & this approach gets way more attention than just talking about it.

Mike Davis - I agree that the extremists have already 'won', which is why I don't think they will use airports/airplanes again. They've already succeeded in that. I think it's great what Texas is doing - Get rid of TSA!

Well that is two states, NH this week and now Texas. I think NH has the right idea, put the TSA offenders on the sex watch list.................

The next time the terrorist strike in the United States, watch all the TSA heaters run and hide. We Americans have such short memories, what did you think happen in Russia, England, India and France can't happen in the USA, get REAL Michael Fug, bet you will be the first to hide under a rock.

I second that bobbyjoh! Americans really have the shortest memories on the planet. We have forgotten about the UPS plane that was bomb a few months ago and the airport in Russia last month. More people travel by air than any other means. You stop the commercial airlines, and you stop America. An yes, Michael Fug will be the second to hide under a rock. Rep. David Simpson (R-Longview) will be the first.

I hate to say this, but americans are NOT blowing up airplanes, IF this takes profile assessment that is fine with me. The TSA needs to check more closely what they are checking for?

And just what does a terrorist look like, do you think they are all middle eastern guys. What a joke, there are terrorist that are white, black, Hispanic, you name it. So who are you going to profile. This profile idea is just junk stupid.
