TSA Threatens To Cancel All Flights Out Of Texas If ‘Groping Bill’ Passed

.. if they passed the bill, the TSA would probably have to cancel all flights out of Texas.

Upset about invasive screening techniques at the airport, the Lone Star State was considering a bill that would make a TSA patdown that involves touching “the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of another person including through the clothing” a misdemeanor, allowing Texas law enforcement to arrest TSA officials and charge them with sexual harassment. It would have meant that TSA officials could be fined $4,000 and spend up to a year in jail for doing their jobs of feeling up prospective fliers.

The Transportation Security Administration was not happy when the bill was passed in the Texas House of Representatives, blogging in response that Texas is barred by the U.S. Constitution from regulating the federal government.

On Tuesday, the bill was set to be voted on in the Senate. This called for more of a response than a simple blog post. Federal government officials descended on the Capitol to hand out a letter (embedded below) from the Texas U.S. Attorney letting senators know that if they passed the bill, the TSA would probably have to cancel all flights out of Texas. As much as they love their state, the idea of shutting down airports and trapping people in Texas was scary enough to get legislators to reconsider their support for the groping bill…

Republican Dan Patrick, who was the sponsor of the bill in the Senate, withdrew it when he realized he would not have the votes he needed to pass it. “There was a time in this state, there was a time in our history, where we stood up to the federal government and we did not cower to rules and policies that invaded the privacy of Texans,” he said with regret, reports the Texas Tribune. No last stand for Texas this week.

The letter from U.S. attorney John Murphy said Texas could not pass a statute that conflicts with federal law. If it had, the TSA would have sought an emergency stay and until that had been granted, would have had to shut down Texas airports as it “could not ensure the safety of passengers and crew.”

“Naturally, Texans didn’t take to well to being threatened in that manner,” said Rep. David Simpson, the author of the bill, in a written statement.

They may not like it, but it worked.

For this to work the states are going to have to ban together and pass similar bills at the same time. If 15+ states implemented this legislation at one time there would be so much pressure put on Congress (by the airlines industry, corporate America and the thousands of people put out of work) that the feds would capitulate.

Texas is barred by the U.S. Constitution from regulating the federal government.

Bullshit.

Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Their is no constitutional amendment Authorizing the TSA and what they do , their is however the fourth amendment.

Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Texas is not attempting to regulate shit rather we want to pass a bill insisting that the federal government adhere to constitutional law.

DON'T WUSS OUT ON US NOW AUSTIN!!!! PASS THAT BILL!!!!

I think I am gonna write my Senators and encourage them to get this done....

Fuck the TSA!

Shouldn't TSA have to prove that every foreign country having flights entering the U.S. has the "exact same TSA security procedures" as are being implemented in Texas ?

The FEDS are CLEARLY over-stepping their bounds by treating U.S. States as less than foreign States.

And if the pigs down there in the political offices had any balls, immediately after that they'd claim their sovereignty on top of it and tell the FedGov to go fuck off! And if I were Governor I'd say it in as many words publicly and directed right at the POTUS.

Amen and amen!

I don't know who the Texas people are!

And another call-to-action: Even if you aren't in Texas--Gov. Perry's office is taking a public opinion poll NOW on the TSA-groping bill HB-1937. LET'S MELT THE GOVERNOR'S SWITCHBOARD! Call 512-463-2000 & tell the nice lady that you are absolutely FOR HB 1937.

screwed up christine's name I see. sigh.

I called and said I was for it and left my contact info for whatever good it will do. I don't live in Texas but I said that I thought Texas should call their bluff.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.    Lord Acton

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.
