The GOP-dominated Texas House has made it a crime to touch your junk during an airport security patdown.
Approved late Thursday night, the measure makes it illegal for anyone conducting searches to touch “the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of another person” including through clothing. It also prohibits searches “that would be offensive to a reasonable person.” The bill’s chief sponsor is Republican Rep. David Simpson, who said, “this has to do with dignity and travel, and prohibiting indecent, groping searches.” He believes it will keep Transportation Security Administration officials from treating travelers like criminals, though the measure may be superseded by federal law.
I don't wanna be a dick here, but how the fuck did this chick ever become Miss USA? As an American I'm truly offended that someone of this caliber gets to represent me. Ugly as shit. Now I realize she's travelling, not dressed up, not wearin' a lot of makeup, but c'mon - she's supposed to be reppin' the Red, White and Blue for chrissakes! I guess she's a little more Miss TSA than Miss USA.
On the other hand, I completely believe her. Just too much shit comin' down these days about all the asswipe shit that the TSA is pullin'. Pay attention! (And don't be lettin' any $6.50-an-hour slapdick touch yer privates!)
Coming home from San Francisco last night I finally had my first trip through one of them there full body scanners, after which I got the complete junk inspection from an elderly TSA agent who looked startlingly like Morgan Freeman. The agent was as pleasant as can be, considering, and I was surprised at how nonchalant I felt while being felt up by a septuagenarian in the middle of a busy airport. The whole thing is a ridiculous and probably ineffective exercise, to be sure, but I really can't see the point of cursing out the miserable agents, as the woman behind me did at great length. Complain to the people who can actually make changes, folks.
