Texas HB 1938 and HB 1937 Bills to Stop TSA Groping and Naked Body Scans

The state of Texas is standing up to federal tyranny. Not only have they said the secession word this week followed by the federal government's violation of Texas' Tenth Amendment rights, they are getting ready to keep the TSA in check.

HB 1938 and HB 1937 are bills introduced in the Texas state house to limit the intrusive and embarrassing, not to mention Fourth Amendment violating, pat downs and naked body scans in Texas airports. The bills in partial read:

HB 1938 reads in part:
(b) An airport operator may not allow body imaging scanning equipment to be installed or operated in any airport in this state.
(c) An airport operator commits an offense if the operator fails to comply with Subsection (b).
(d) An airport operator who commits an offense under Subsection (c) is subject to a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $1,000 for each day of the violation.

HB 1937 includes the following:
(3) as part of a search performed to grant access to a publicly accessible building or form of transportation, intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly:
(A) searches another person without probable cause to believe the person committed an offense; and
(B) touches the anus, sexual organ, or breasts of the other person, including touching through clothing, or touches the other person in a manner that would be offensive to a reasonable person.
(f) …. An offense under Subsection (a)(3) is a state jail felony.

It's too bad Texas doesn't have a governor that is truly committed to freedom. Remember Rick Perry pushed the cervical vaccination drug on young women throughout the state. Other than that, Texas seems like a cool place to live.
