Texas, apparently fed up with the frisking of babies and the molesting of women at its airports by federal government security officers, tried to put a halt to the practice using the proper channels – legislation and law. State legislators introduced a bill banning the “intrusive touching of persons seeking access to public buildings and transportation.” In essence, HB 1937 sought to prevent Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials from feeling up the frequent-fliers. TSA agents who didn’t comply would face fines of $4,000, as well as jail time.
Good bill – especially for little girls.
