Texas House Bans Offensive Security Pat-Downs
May 13, 2011 6:44 AM
AUSTIN (AP) - The Texas House passed a bill that would make it a criminal offense for public servants to inappropriately touch travelers during airport security pat-downs.
Approved late Thursday night, the measure makes it illegal for anyone conducting searches to touch “the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of another person” including through clothing.
It also prohibits searches “that would be offensive to a reasonable person.”
The bill’s chief sponsor is Republican Rep. David Simpson, who said, “this has to do with dignity and travel, and prohibiting indecent, groping searches.”
He believes it will keep Transportation Security Administration officials from treating travelers like criminals, though the measure may be superseded by federal law.
After a brief but raucous debate, lawmakers approved the measure with little opposition — drawing applause from supporters.

“State Representative David Simpson (HD-7) reported this afternoon that we now 87 co-authors for HB 1937, the bill that criminalizes TSA groping without probable cause. This should be enough to pull it out of calendars to the house floor.
HB 1938, which bans the use of naked body scanners without probable cause or informed consent, is scheduled to be voted on today in the House Transportation Committee.
Governor Perry has indicated he will sign both pieces of legislation if they are passed into law.”

TSA Abuse: Who Will Keep Us Safe from the People Who “Keep Us Safe”?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKOIDpS7ltU
“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrations), too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery.” - Thomas Jefferson
Amendment IV: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
The People Speak–Perry Starts Listening :: Stop Austin Scanners!
http://stopaustinscanners.org/2011/05/t ... listening/
“Despite mainstream media silence, popular outrage has spurred Gov. Perry’s office to start a public opinion poll on whether or not to push ahead to resubmit “restrain-the-TSA” anti-groping bill HB 1937. Demand that the Governor add HB 1937 to the legislative agenda for the upcoming special session.
If you are a Texas resident and support this bill, call (512) 463-2000 NOW and tell them you are IN FAVOR of HB 1937, relating to the prosecution and punishment for the offense of official oppression by the intrusive touching of persons seeking access to public buildings and transportation and providing penalties.”
Pat-downs: Good bill nixed by Texas Senate
El Paso Times Editorial Board 05/30/2011
http://www.elpasotimes.com/opinion/ci_1 ... ost_viewed
“The House had unanimously passed a measure that would ban the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from performing searches on some parts of the body — a person’s “privates” — with their hands. Such searches would be permissible if there was probable cause.
We liked that House bill.
On Wednesday, the bill failed to clear the Senate, and its sponsor is blaming Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. He said Dewhurst received a threat from the federal government to “cancel any flight or series of flights for which it could not ensure the safety of passengers and crew.”
State Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, said Dewhurst worked behind the scenes to make sure the bill would stall out and die.
We don’t believe flights would be barred from Texas airports; it would create a national transportation catastrophe to do so.
The TSA noted that federal law trumps state law. Proponents of the House bill say the Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution would not apply because federal law does not authorize the inappropriate touching of people’s genitals.
To have this bill pass unanimously in the 150-member House, then have it fail to even get to the full Senate floor is a defeat for the citizens of Texas.
This derailment goes opposite human dignity concerns and the rights of law-abiding passengers.”

Legislators seek curbs on airport screens
Published: May 13, 2011 at 11:13 AM
Legislation barring body scanners have been offered in New Jersey, Hawaii, New Hampshire and Texas. UPI/Gary C. Caskey
WASHINGTON, May 13 (UPI) -- Legislators in several states have introduced bans on airport patdowns, but the moves are largely symbolic, observers say.
"What's going on is a trampling of the Constitution," Michael Doherty, a Republican state senator in New Jersey, told USA Today.
Legislation barring federal Transportation Security Administration security personnel from conducting patdowns or using body scanners have been offered in New Jersey, Hawaii, New Hampshire and Texas.
The New Hampshire measure would have made touching travelers' private parts a sex crime. But only the Texas bill has made any progress: It passed the state House Thursday.
But policy experts say states have no authority over federal agencies like the TSA.
"It's a way of getting attention and objecting to the intrusiveness of the search procedures," said Alan Rosenthal, a professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey. "But I don't think any of that could pre-empt federal requirements."
A proclaimed national "Opt Out" day of protest against the screening on the day before Thanksgiving was a flop. The TSA says it has gotten 898 complaints from November through March out of about 252 million air travelers.
The agency says fewer than 3 percent of travelers get patdowns.

Tiny Payout In TSA Breast Exposure Lawsuit
Texas woman, 24, was paid $2350 to settle airport frisking claimJUNE 1--The U.S. government paid a paltry $2350 to settle a lawsuit brought by a Texas woman who sued the Transportation Security Administration after her breasts were exposed during a vigorous frisking at a Texas airport, records show.
In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Department of Justice released a copy of the settlement agreement reached earlier this year with Lynsie Murley, the 24-year-old Amarillo woman who sued the TSA for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress in connection with the May 2008 incident at the Corpus Christi airport.
The eight-page agreement notes that the settlement does not constitute an admission by government officials of any “liability, fault or wrongdoing.” It also stipulates that legal fees paid to Murley’s lawyers were not to exceed 25 percent of the settlement amount (or $587.50).
Murley, pictured above, charged in her lawsuit that she was “singled out for extended search procedures,” and that a TSA agent frisked her and “pulled Plaintiff’s blouse completely down, exposing Plaintiff’s breasts to everyone in the area.”
TSA employees, Murley added, “joked and laughed about the incident for an extended period of time.” After leaving the security line to be “consoled by an acquaintance who had brought her to the airport,” Murley returned to the line, where a male TSA worker said that he had wished he was there when she first passed through. The employee, Murley recalled, added that “he would just have to watch the video.” The incident left Murley “extremely embarrassed and humiliated,” according to her complaint.
In January, when U.S. District Court filings revealed that a settlement had been reached, TSG requested a copy of the document memorializing the deal as well as the amount of money being paid to Murley.
However, Kathy Colvin, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Texas, refused to provide the agreement or any details about the settlement. The settlement was subsequently provided to TSG in response to a FOIA request filed with the Justice Department’s Executive Office for United States Attorneys. (8 pages)

TSA's Worst Nightmare Continues: Phil Mocek Now Suing for Civil Rights Violations
By Keegan Hamilton, Fri., May 27 2011 at 11:31 AMRemember the case of Seattle's Phil Mocek, the guy who tried to pass through Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at the Albuquerque airport in November, 2009 without a valid ID? The 37-year-old software developer and political gadfly not only ended up missing his flight home, but was also slapped with a quartet of misdemeanor charges, all four of which were eventually dismissed in January after recordings proved that airport officials made false claims about Mocek's behavior during the incident. But Mocek's acquittal, it seems, isn't the end of his story. He's now planning to sue the City of Albuquerque, their Aviation Police, and, eventually, the TSA for alleged civil rights violations.
Reached by phone this morning, Mocek explains that while his arrest and trial raised awareness about the flimsy legal justification TSA cites to require passengers to show their ID and prevent audio and video recordings in the airport, his ultimate goal is to change the government's policy on the matters. A lawsuit, he believes, is the best means to that end.
"I was wronged in this situation," says Mocek, who is also active with Seattle's Cannabis Defense Coalition. "And if what has happened puts me in a position of getting a court to take a look at what the TSA is doing and possibly force them to change the way they do things, it would be irresponsible of me not to do so."
Mocek has not technically filed suit just yet. His case is being handled by The First Amendment Project, a non-profit advocacy organization based in Oakland, and they have only taken the initial step of officially notifying the City of Albuquerque and the Albuquerque Aviation Police that they intend to file suit under New Mexico law. (See embedded document below.) Mocek says the TSA will also eventually be hauled into court as well.
Here's how we explained what happened to Mocek back in January:When Mocek attempted to record his conversation with the TSA checkpoint workers, they summoned both the Albuquerque police and the FBI. Mocek was eventually arrested and charged with four misdemeanors: trespassing, disorderly conduct, refusing to obey an officer, and concealing his identity...
...According to the TSA's website it's possible to pass through security without showing a photo ID. Passengers, the website says, "will have to provide information" that verifies their identity and then they "may be subject to additional screening."
When Mocek was pulled aside by TSA workers and questioned about his identity, police reports say he started, "causing a disturbance and yelling." They say he shouted, "'I know my rights!'" with a voice that was loud enough to cause other passengers "to hesitate before continuing through the checkpoint."
Using his cell phone, Mocek was able to record almost the entire encounter. (Though police told him at the time that he was not allowed to film, he'd actually received written permission to do so in advance from the airport.) Mocek says the inconsistencies between his recordings and the police statements were key to his victory.
"If I had not documented what happened to me I almost certainly would've been convicted," Mocek says. "It proves that it's still unclear to people where you can and cannot perform photography. We need to keep reinforcing that we can and should document actions of public employees in public."
After his acquittal, Mocek was on the way back to Seattle via train (he's not too fond of flying anymore, for obvious reasons) when he stopped at the offices of the First Amendment Project. Emboldened by what he describes as "overwhelming support" from the public for his cause, he decided to pursue further legal action. Mocek is also seeking damages to help pay for his attorney's fees, which he says totaled more than $25,000. (He solicited donations leading up to the trial, and is still taking contributions on his personal website.)
The director of The First Amendment Project did not immediately return a call seeking comment, but Mocek says his case is being filed on behalf of, "anybody who supports standing up to TSA's increasing lawlessness."
Albuquerque's acting City Attorney, Stephanie Griffin, declined to comment except to say that the city's "risk management division has been notified and they're in process of investigating [Mocek's] claim."
Here's the letter sent to the City of Albuquerque by Mocek's attorneys, courtesy of The Identity Project, which has been keeping close tabs on Mocek's case since the very beginning:

TSA On The Ropes; Budget Slashed, Texas Grope Ban Returns
http://www.infowars.com/tsa-on-the-rope ... n-returns/
...
Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the man responsible for turning Senators away from the bill which had looked set to pass having sailed through the House unanimously, has reversed his position and “asked Gov. Rick Perry to include the measure in a special session of the Texas legislature,” reports The Hill.
Texas TSA pat down ban may be back
By Keith Laing - 06/02/11 02:18 PM ET
Texas lawmakers may reconsider a bill to outlaw controversial airport pat-downs, the sponsor of legislation that was shelved recently said this week.
Texas state Rep. David Simpson (R) said that Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst asked Gov. Rick Perry to include the measure in a special session of the Texas legislature. Dewhurst reported asked lawmakers to withdraw the bill when federal officials threatened to cancel flights to Texas if it passed.
But he has since had a change of heart, Simpson told fans on his Facebook page.
"The Lt. Gov. sent a letter to Gov. Perry asking him to include the TSA bill HB 1937 in the special session!," Simpson wrote on the website. "Please call the Governor and tell him you agree with Lt. Gov. Dewhurst!"
The measure would make it a misdemeanor for TSA agents would have been to pat down travelers who did not have probable cause for suspicion. The penalty would be a $4,000 fine and one year in jail.
If it is approved, it would be the first state law restricting TSA's security techniques.
Simpson sharply criticized the Department of Justice for threatening to respond to the bill, comparing it to the Texas Revolution.
"175 years ago in the first battle of the Texas Revolution against Mexico, a small band of Texans stood in defiance at Gonzalez, turning back the attempt to deprive them of their weapon of defense, a single cannon," he wrote in a letter to Perry, Dewhurst, Texas House Speaker Joe Straus and Attorney General Gregg Abbott.
"Gentlemen, we find ourselves at such a watershed moment today," Simpson continued. "The federal government is attempting to deprive the citizens of Texas of their constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 9 of the Texas Constitution. If we do not stand for our citizens in the face of this deprivation of their personal rights and dignity, who will?"
TSA has continue to argue the proposed legislation is unconstitutional, saying it would be nullified by the supremacy clause of the U.S. constitution.
A measure similar to the Texas bill has been introduced in Utah.

TSA Caving To Pat Down Pressure?
TSA manager tells Alaska Senator that agency is considering changing its policies
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, June 2, 2011
Following pressure from lawmakers that resulted in the Department of Justice resorting to threats of federal blockades last week to stymie a bill in Texas that would have made TSA groping a felony, a top Transportation Security Administration official has indicated that the agency might be about to cave on its aggressive pat down procedures.
During a roundtable session in Anchorage Alaska hosted by U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, TSA Field Operations Manager Scott Johnson said the agency was “considering changes in its screening techniques,” reports the Associated Press.
Instead of groping young children and searching babies’ diapers, the TSA is looking at treating passengers differently based on their potential risk, a policy that would “rank populations of air passengers as more or less potentially dangerous.”
“There are probably people that we have to take a closer look at than others,” said Johnson.
However, subjecting individuals deemed suitable for a “closer look” by the TSA to more aggressive screening may have little to do with stopping terrorists considering the fact that the TSA apparently judges the biggest threat to be journalists who criticized the agency and were then put on a watch list as a form of punishment.
“This whole idea of risk assessment … trying to determine what’s high risk, what’s a low risk, how they manage that, I think was a good statement and a new policy that they have,” said Senator Begich, noting that body scanners which do not show intimate details of a person’s naked body are in the pipeline. However, worries about the radiation threat posed by such devices, an even bigger concern, were not addressed.
The round table session was organized by Republican State Rep. Sharon Cissna’s United States for Travel Freedom Caucus, a group that is pushing for legislation to be enacted across the country that would ban TSA molestation.
Cissna, a 68-year-old cancer survivor who suffered molestation and abuse in her youth, made shock waves back in February when she refused to submit to a TSA grope-down and was subsequently prevented from flying from Seattle, Washington to her home in Alaska.
“It’s a paradigm shift that has gone on here, where suddenly it’s all right to teach kids that it’s all right to have strangers touching them in the most personal places,” she said.
Last week, the Department of Justice and the TSA used financial terrorism to nix HB 1937 in Texas, a bill that would have made it “A criminal act for security personnel to touch a person’s private areas without probable cause as a condition of travel or as a condition of entry into a public place,” shortly before the legislation looked to be on its way to passage in the Senate having passed the Texas House unanimously.
The DOJ and Homeland Security intimidated lawmakers into dropping the bill after they threatened to shut down all the airports in Texas and prevent any commercial flights from operating out of or entering the state.
While any change in policy by the TSA should be welcomed, let’s not forget that following the national outcry at the end of last year against intrusive airport screening that was spearheaded by the Drudge Report, John Pistole’s promise that the TSA was looking at making the process “less intrusive” was never fulfilled, and if anything the grope-downs became more aggressive, with TSA goons directly sticking their hands down people’s pants

Republican Lt. Governor Killed TSA Bill For Obama
Creature of federal government played role of Judas in betraying his own state
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, May 26, 2011
The man who was instrumental in working with the federal government to sabotage a bill that would have made TSA grope downs a felony in the state of Texas was Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a former CIA agent and establishment insider considered to be the wealthiest man in Texas politics.
As we have documented, the anti-pat down bill was derailed in the Texas Senate having unanimously passed the House by 138-0 votes after the Department of Justice sent a letter threatening to impose a no fly zone over Texas and shut down Texas airports. The warning was nothing short of a federal blockade and an act of financial terrorism.
But the federal assault was aided by a traitor from within the state, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who only served to amplify the threats made by the DOJ in communicating them to members of the Senate, convincing them them to cave in and forcing the hand of Senator Dan Patrick to withdraw the bill before it could be shot down permanently.
“He came up with this elaborate political play to kill the bill without his fingerprints,” Sen. Patrick, R-Houston stated, adding, “His fingerprints are all over this.”
“Someone who will undermine his members and someone who will not stand up to the federal government — you have to ask yourself is that the kind of person that we need in the U.S. Senate,” Patrick said, adding that Dewhurst “sideswiped” him on Tuesday night by turning members against the bill.
Patrick is now planning to insert an amendment within the bill that will mandate the federal government comply within six months. However, some will merely see that as unnecessarily watering down the legislation.
“I hear he’s thinking about running for governor,” Patrick said. “I hear he’s thinking about running for senator. In the last 24 hours, he’s given me some things to think about.”
Given the fact that Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst is undoubtedly an establishment insider it’s unsurprising that he played the role of Judas in protecting the agenda of the Obama administration over and above the will of his own legislators and the people of Texas.
Dewhurst is a creature of the federal government, having worked as a CIA agent and also served in the US State Department. He was also director of the state Task Force on Homeland Security.
During his tenure in the CIA in the early 1970′s, Dewhurst helped the U.S. government violently overthrow democratically elected regimes in South America to plunder their oil and other resources, including the coup that helped neo-nazi Bolivian Gen. Hugo Banzer Suárez come to power. Banzer was aided by notorious Nazi Klaus Barbie, the “butcher of Lyon,” who escaped France after the end of World War 2 to enter Bolivia.
Barbie, an expert in cruel and inhumane forms of torture for the purposes of interrogation, was a key CIA liaison throughout the years Dewhurst served in South America. When the Austin Chronicle asked Dewhurst whether he had enjoyed a drink with the “butcher of Lyon” at the US embassy bar, he responded, “I never comment on intelligence matters.”
So in Dewhurst we basically have a man who helped neo-nazis, as well as Nazi torture experts, overthrow legitimate governments in the 70′s now helping the Obama administration overthrow America in 2011, by protecting an army of TSA thugs who are being used to completely demolish constitutional rights.
Following the recent raid on Osama Bin Laden’s alleged compound, Dewhurst hinted that he still moved very much within spook circles when he stated, “I can’t go into details, but the capabilities that the United States has developed over the years is nothing short of breath-taking.”
“Little is known about Dewhurst. His life story is an impenetrable fog of obfuscation punctuated by tantalizing facts,” reports the Texas Observer. “This secrecy has extended from his military record to the sources of his wealth to his current financial conflicts. He has repeatedly gotten into trouble with the Texas Ethics Commission for overly vague financial filings. State elected officials are required to either disclose their finances or put all their assets in a blind trust. Until 2008, Dewhurst declined to do either, putting his money in a (nonblind) trust and declining to release information about it.”
During his campaign for lieutenant governor in 2001, Dewhurst ran an ad featuring a German Luftwaffe officer standing in front of an American flag, somewhat appropriate given the fact that Dewhurst obviously believes Americans should be forced to ‘show their papers’ at checkpoints manned by TSA goons which are popping up all over the country just like people in Nazi Germany were also forced to endure checkpoints and strip-searches

VIDEO: Woman Screams For Help After TSA Molestation
Steve Watson & Paul Joseph Watson
Prisonplanet.com
June 2, 2011
UPDATE: TSA On The Ropes; Budget Slashed, Texas Grope Ban Returns
Video of an incident recorded over the memorial weekend at Sky Harbor International in Phoenix, AZ, documents how the TSA deal with people who are traumatized by grossly invasive enhanced pat downs.
After a woman refused to go through a full body scanner she was pulled aside and made to undergo the pat down procedure. When the TSA agent touched the woman’s breasts, she broke down into tears and screamed for a police officer.
When police officers arrived on the scene they led the woman away and told her that unless she would submit to the full pat down procedure she would not be able to fly.
“Why won’t you help me? You’re a police officer why won’t you help me?” the woman asks in the video.
All the while the woman’s son was filming the ordeal on his phone, having to constantly fend off threats from TSA agents falsely claiming he was breaking the law. The agents also threatened to confiscate the man’s luggage, even though he had been through the screening process.
Watch the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZdp13LFtOY
The family was previously subjected to similar scrutiny from the TSA at Sky Harbor earlier in the year, prompting them to voice protest over violation of their Constitutional rights.
The previous incident was also captured on video (below) and was evidently remembered by some of the TSA workers who claimed to know that the whole family are routine troublemakers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=ZwyUI1GIjKs
There shouldn’t even be a debate as to whether or not TSA workers can stick their hands down your pants or fondle a woman’s breasts. Not even a police officer or an FBI agent can legally lay a hand on you unless it’s in the course of an arrest. Though welcomed, there isn’t even any need for a law to be passed in Texas, all state police have to do is enforce existing laws.
As Steve Wagstaffe, the District Attorney in San Mateo County, told Alex Jones last year, merely touching someone against their will is a felony in California, just as it is in Texas and across the country.
“If it is skin to skin, if someone were to take their hand and put it underneath somebody’s blouse and touch someone inappropriately and go skin to skin, that’s a felony, and if it’s done simply over the clothing, according to California law, that’s a misdemeanor,” said Wagstaffe.
If police merely did their job and enforced existing laws by arresting TSA agents who molest Americans, whether that be in airports, at train stations, highways, bus terminals, prom nights or wherever else TSA workers are used, then there would be no need for new legislation.
