Texas Bill Would Make Invasive Pat-Downs a Felony 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.

IMHO everyone who works for the TSA should have to register as a sex offender and their website should be blocked by browser porn filters.
I have always wondered how these freaking perverts could put their filthy hands on small children, disabled and old people 'without probable cause', in every case of these searches, I saw NOTHING that gave the right to touch these people!
So, just to be clear, this only applies to a 'security officer'? Sweet ......
------------------------------------- Why on Earth don't you blame Congress and the administration beyond the TSA policies and procedures? They have provided an OFFICIAL SEAL of APPROVAL with one singular issue: unauthorized picture recording and reproduction. That doesn't sound like a responsible Congress/Administration does it?
I do, I blame Bush & 107th Congress for inventing TSA, and I blame Obama and the 111th Congress for giving the pervs Viagra. That said, I still don't think Nuremberg defense should give the rank and file a pass.
Then let's make your comment more accurate and precise so that the viewing publick isn't confused with your position, FROM: TO: Clarity and brevity, on these chit-chat channels, brings an all new dimension to understanding don't you think?
But then the unions are not the only ones he blames. It dilutes his thesis.

Well, at least, he is on the right track to blaming the elected critters in Washington DC; I think Happy's revenge is a wee bit light though. If I had made such a publick statement, it would have suggested: But, then again, that is the way I would have phrased the idea. Going for root-cause as opposed to treating mere symptoms is much more fun and to the point.

IMHO ALL elected politicians in the federal government to include employees of the TSA should have to register as a sex offender and their website should be blocked by browser porn filters.
