House Passes Watered Down TSA Groping Bill 1/2

Associated Press reports: The Texas House has approved a bill that would criminalize intentional, inappropriate touching by an airport security screener. Supporters of the bill complain, however, that the new version is too watered down and unenforceable. Full story -- www.chron.com Senate Passes (Weakened) TSA "Anti-Groping" Bill Out of Committee Becca Aaronson Texas Tribune Monday, June 27, 2011 Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, laid out a new version of the TSA anti-groping bill in a Senate committee hearing this morning. One of the major changes: Federal officials would only need "reasonable suspicion," rather than "probable cause," to legally search an individual before granting access to a public building. "If [federal officials] do not have effective consent from the person it would be against the Texas law to touch a person in those areas of their body unless they have reasonable suspicion to do so," said Patrick, the author of the Senate version of the bill.

    here.

    i recommend that each citizen begin to think of themselves as “the government”. go ahead. make yourself believe it. see what you can figure out – about what it’s like to be a member of the “government”. apply to yourselves exactly what you expect from “them”. live your life as if you are a public servant – begin to literally SERVE the public, in the way you expect your “leaders” to serve you. you expect to be not criminalized, hmm? what are your expectations? BEGIN LIVING THEM.

    sorry, peeps – but waging war on war is like trying to put out a fire with a fire.

    find more appropriate language – your chances of success greatly improve.

    instead of “declaring war” : CLAIM _______

    fill in the blank. what can you claim? if a system is corrupt, there is no need to war it. no need to waste resources (energy, time, mind, etc.). so then, what do you claim – that they are corrupt or that you aren’t? if you aren’t corrupt, what are you?

    TSA comics:

    “Nigerian Olajide Noibi boarded Virgin America Flight 415 at John F. Kennedy International Airport 24 June 2011 without a valid passport or identification.

    It wasn’t until the plane was airborne that flight crew realized an extra passenger was on the flight, according to an FBI affidavit…Noibi reportedly got off the plane in Los Angeles International Airport without incident and spent the next several days in the Los Angeles area.”
