“AUSTIN -- Legislation to ban invasive pat-downs by federal airport security screeners collapsed in the Texas House on Wednesday as the 82nd Legislature finished a protracted 170-day workathon, including 30 days in overtime…”

I wish the fucking bill had passed. Of course President Obama and the TSA, FAA and Justice Department would not have had the balls to fight it like they should have… They would have gone to court and of course the federal government would have won in court.
But if I was President of the United States I would have had the TSA and FAA ban all International fights in and out of Texas after 9/11 of 2011.
Texas would have gone to court right away to prevent it but at the same time they would have done away with the fucking law so fucking fast.
“…The bill, which had a die-hard fan base of largely conservative supporters, would have expanded the federal definition of "official oppression" to prohibit federal employees from improperly touching a person's private areas. Violations would constitute a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a maximum $4,000 fine…”

The people that want the pat-down bill passed are so fucking stupid. The law would not be legal and the courts would toss it out. Also even if it became a law and went into effect no one would pay any attention to it.
You would have stupid low IQ right wing nuts screaming in the airports from time to time but no real law enforcement officer would arrest a TSA security person for “improperly” touching someone during a security pat-down. Police officers do pat-downs every fucking day.
I did a “pat-down” on the husband of an ER patient one time. He was a pain in the ass all the time. He and his wife were coming to hospital ERs all the time to get drugs. He owned a small business in the area with x number of employees.
I had worked at another hospital for a year and he had shown up over there and made threats that he was going to kill the ER doctor and staff. Then later I was back working at another hospital and he and his wife showed up and he was acting in his nutty way..Refusing to stay out of the exam room and then when he went in with his wife he would close the door and the staff asked him to keep the door open.
I just fucking took him out of the room and did a pat down on him. He got so pissed off that he left the hospital and as he was leaving he said is this such and such a hospital and it was not the hospital and I told him “yes” and he left. Right away his wife was ready to be released and he was not there but they called him on his cell phone. When he pulled into the ER garage I refused to let him get out of his fucking car.
Now was that “improperly” touching someone? I don’t think so.. I think when you got a guy saying he is going to kill a doctor and staff because they will not give him drugs that you would be a piss poor police/security person if you did not do a pat down.
We have not heard the last of the pat down bill in Texas. I am sure the right wing conservative government hating nuts will bring it up and keep bring it up until they get something passed. I think anyone with an IQ higher than 40 knows it is not legal and is a stupid law. So people will water it down until it is just a worthless scrip of paper and pass it just go get the nuts off their backs. What they should do is tell them you are fucking stupid and get he hell out of my office you piece of shit.
