Throwing them a Bilderbone.

If the Feds shut down travel: THAT would be an act of terrorism.

Yes It would be. I doubt they'd ever do that though.

 

[Deborah K]

The positive reinforcements he receives being a part of the machine far outweigh any pat on the head we could give him.

You really think after trying to take 4 Million acres of Texan's land via eminent domain so he could give it to a private corporation, that he's coming around to the side of liberty?

This gesture of his is a dog bone that he has thrown to the liberty crowd. You seem to enjoy it. I fear the pandering politician.

This.

Contact your Senator:

When you contact your Senator, tell them to call TSA's bluff. The TSA can ensure the public's safety using other technology/methods like the air puffer machines without violating the people's rights and dignity.

From the C4L:

The Senators listed below may be sitting on the fence and need some extra attention:

Sen. Juan Hinojosa

Sen. Leticia Van de Putte

Tell them you want Texans to be protected from federal violations of their Fourth Amendment rights.

Sen. Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio, head of the Senate Democratic Caucus, said she hates such searches and initially was going to vote for Patrick's bill in the regular session before she learned about the potential effect on air travel in Texas. Read the article here.

Good luck to all you Texans....this would be a national victory.

 

[Stary Hickory]

The people need a victory against TSA, it has to go. I hope Texas stands firm on this, enough is enough TSA agents are nothing more than common criminals and often sex offenders. We should lock people like this up behind bars.

Does anyone know if this passes if they'll still force us to walk through the microwave instead?

No one knows? Now they're saying the microwave is causing a surge in cancer for TSA agents...

Wow! Good on Texans! Keep up the good fight. The rest of us need to get our representatives to cosponsor Ron's bill: The American Traveler Dignity Act.
