Legislators will travel be palpated a felony TSA

 Passenger general unease with the procedures of the TSA patdown is one thing. But now lawmakers in several States are agitation to palpation a crime, reports USA Today.

In a week when a baby Tweeted photo get a patdown alla viral (and was even lambasted by Conan O'Brien), is clearly a hot-button topic.


"What is happening, it is a trampling of the Constitution," said Republican State in the New Jersey Senator Michael Doherty USA Today. Doherty is among four States legislators who have introduced new legislation that would limit federal employees of security to administer palpation and prohibit the use of controversial également body scanners.

Similar legislation has been introduced to Hawaii, New Hampshire and Texas. Alaska has already adopted a resolution on palpation after an episode in which the legislature of the State Rep. Sharon Cissna refused a patdown at the airport of Seattle.Projet of the Texas Act would be a crime to use body scanners, while New Hampshire legislation would make palpation of the parties of the flyer a sex crime.The one hitch in all this? The States have no power of control of federal agencies. Yet, Alan Rosenthal, Professor of public policy at Rutgers, told the paper: "it is a way to get attention and oppose interference research procedures."
During this time, on Thursday, House Republicans made a move to deny the $ 76 million necessary to introduce a 275 additional body scanners in airports, the Associated Press reported.
