Don't Mess with Texas' Junk - TSA Pat-Downs Could Be Criminalized


Texas Flag

Texas State Representative David Simpson is sponsoring a bill in Texas (HB 1937) that would make it a felony for a security officer who grants access to public buildings and public transportation to touch a person's anus, sex organ, or breasts (under or over clothes) without probable cause. The bill also criminalizes any touching by a security guard that would be offensive to a reasonable person. This could effectively end the intrusive portions of TSA pat-downs in Texas.

Also, Rep. David Simpson is sponsoring HB 1938, which would outlaw full-body scanners in Texas. This legislation would impose fines of up to $1,000 per day on those who operate scanner that allow government workers to look at people's virtually naked bodies.

Finally, a politician is standing up for the basic human dignity of innocent people. Is it any wonder that Texas is the pioneer in this effort?

All of the sissies out there are going to start peeing down their legs and crying, "Oh, no! The terrorists are going to find out about this lapse in security and flood into the Texas airports. They are going to be hijacking planes out of Texas every week!"

If you have ever met a Texan, the last thing you would think to do is hijack a plane full of them. Texans are tough people and will not sit passively in their seats while someone tries to bring down their plane. If you ever visit Texas, you will learn that "Don't Mess with Texas" is not just a motto. It is a way of life.

Miss USA, Susie Castillo, Sexually Molested by TSA Screener

Susie Castillo - Miss USA 2003

The latest addition to an ever-growing list of people sexually molested by the Transportation Security Administration happens to be a celebrity. Susie Castillo, Miss USA 2003, recently went through a TSA pat-down in the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and a TSA screener touched her breasts, butt, and thighs. She even touched Castillo's genital area four times. Susie Castillo is an incredibly attractive Latina woman, so the TSA screener probably got a little too excited by Castillo's exotic attractiveness and decided to get a nice feel of the beauty queen's vagina.

People are going to come to the TSA's defense and say a woman conducted the pat-down, so there could not have been anything sexual about the touching. Do these people honestly believe that none of the female TSA screeners are lesbian or bisexual? There are plenty of lesbian and bisexual women in other careers, why would there not be at least a small percentage working for the TSA? It is just a fact of life that some women are sexually attracted to other women. Even more women are sexually attracted to unusually gorgeous women.

Who is to say, this TSA agent did not abuse her power to grope Susie Castillo? Susie Castillo says her vagina was touched by this TSA agent, and the TSA seems to be encouraging this sort of touching. Susie Castillo's story is very believable.  She plans to file a complaint with the TSA.

Castillo should not expect too much to come of her complaint, however. If she was molested by the TSA screener (and she probably was), Castillo needs to contact the local police, have the TSA screener arrested, and see that she is brought up on charges for sexual assault.

When you grab a woman's vagina against her wishes, that is sexual assault, right? The laws have not changed, have they? Just because a person is wearing a federal uniform, this does not mean they automatically get to go around grabbing vaginas all day. Hmm, well, actually that is the case right now, but that doesn't mean it is right. If a woman does not want someone touching her vagina, nobody should touch it.  Is that such a difficult concept? Even if this sort of molestation is making people feel a little safer, we cannot live in a society where the federal government can just start rubbing people's crotches whenever there might be some sort of security threat.

Susie Castillo is understandably quite upset about this experience. Read more about it on her blog.
