PrintEarlier today, I was emailed an online petition to ban the intrusive groping of travelers in Texas at the hands of the TSA.
This strikes a chord with me, because not long ago, my family and I were traveling to New York and we had a negative experience with TSA. We elected not to go through the full body scanner, instead opting for the pat-down. Afterwards, my son was really shaken-up by it. While the TSA agent whom performed the pat-down was a professional, my son still did not like some stranger touching him in that manner.
I, for one, think it’s time to put a stop to this. If you agree, please take a few moments to visit the linked site and sign the petition.
In the meantime, here’s a little about the bill
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider this.

Our children are being desensitized to think that this type of thing is normal under the guize of their safety and the protection of our country. It is called living in fear and the US government is fully aware of this. As all governments understand, when the countrymen are fearful they are easy to control. I hope your son was assured that this is NOT normal (whether a professional is performing it or not) nor should he or any other child become desensitized to something that takes away their personal freedom. We are living in times, not unlike our forefathers, in which we must continually stand-up for our freedoms — just in a different manner — often from within. We have a government that thrives on control — especially control of our children — let us help you — from the cradle to the grave type of mentality. We have signed the petition and I hope other Texans will do so, too. TK
