| NH: Bill Would Make Some Airport Screening Sexual Assault |
| 2011-03-01 |
| A NH House bill would make it a sexual assault for an airport screener to touch, view, or scan a person's breast or genitals without probable cause, including TSA agents. The bill states "discussing or possessing a copy of the Constitution, discussing the security apparatus of an airport, being on the premises of an airport, possessing an airplane ticket or any other type of ticket for access to mass transportation, driving a motor vehicle on a public way, or ownership of firearms" is not probable cause. You know the actors at the TSA will find a way around this. Better make it painful for them to propose new excuses to screen law-abiding citizens. Personally, I would just make it illegal to scan more than 0.1% of the passengers in any rolling one-week period without permission from the governor, and only then for something that the common man could recognize as a valid reason. No "random screenings". Every time they break the law, I would cut back on the amount of scans they were allowed to do for the next year until they got it right. |

| #2 Pass it. Who knows, maybe the TSA will actually think about coming up with a program that fucking works. Meh, who am I kidding. They will never ask Israel for advise. |

| #1 There's a poll on the link that asks whether you support or oppose the bill. Couple of thousand responses - 97% in favor... |
