Texas Bill Would Make Invasive TSA Pat-Downs a Felony

After several high profile incidents involving invasive pat-downs by the TSA, State Rep. David Simpson, has proposed Legislation that would make it a felony to intentionally touch someone’s private areas — even on top of clothing – unless the officer or agent has probable cause to believe the person is carrying something illegal.

The proposed Texas law, aimed at people conducting security checkpoints at airports and public buildings is in response to several incidents involving TSA officers conducting invasive ‘pat-downs’, including a highly publicized incident involving a six year child and a former Miss USA’s tearful claim that she was groped during a pat-down at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
