I love what this guy is doing. I'd like to talk to him about the fourth amendment and the history of federal involvement in air "security"!

 

These points all stand for state prerogatives standing against federal usurpation:

  • Makes certain body searches third degree crime of sexual assault under certain circumstances. View as PDF.
  • Prohibits use of body imaging scanners to screen passengers and airline crew members. View as PDF.
  • Specifies that certain images generated by body scans violate State statutes, prohibiting invasion of privacy, pornography, and endangerment of child welfare under certain circumstances. View as PDF.

“All of these bills remove any claim that TSA agents are immune to any state statutes that they violate when searching passengers or crew,” Doherty concluded. “If we don’t take strong action against these violations, where will it lead? Today planes, tomorrow trains and buses, what then? Will the drive to the market be viewed as a ‘privilege,’ the walk to church? Will we stand upon the slippery slope of paranoia that leads to invasive searches becoming a way of daily life, or say ‘No’ and defend our rights to privacy now while we still have them.”

Senator Doherty has launched an online petition to support his efforts to stop invasive TSA screening procedures at http://www.stopthetsa.org.

I've gotta try to reach this man tomorrow and set up an interview for next week if he has the time and interest!

 

Thanks, again, Jackie. Fantastic! This is a huge story, and I haven't seen any pop media cats mention it!

G!
