Wow! Four states so far and when Rep Cissna introduces her bill in AK that will be five. 10% of the states!
If nothing else, this improves the odds that at least one will make it onto the books. Plus it puts an increasing amount of pressure on TSA to fix this mess before the mobs are at the gates.
Great post.

Waiting for the TSA Blog post from Blogdad Bob saying TSA receives very few complaints.
Prediction of BBs upcoming post: "Although ten percent of the whiner states have very minor issues with clerkpoint gropes, a full Ninty Percent of the States obviously must fully approve of the TSA procedures. To distract your thoughts from this issue, it's Friday afternoon and time for a story about a cute little puppy . . ."

I gotta say, I really didn't expect this. Figured we'd have to fight the scope & grope in court or there'd be a high profile case that went up the food chain.
Who knew the push would come from state legislators. I'm going to make a few calls here in Tennessee this afternoon. There's a legislator who's currently pushing to create a TN-only currency (no joke). I think he's an idiot, but I'd certainly support his efforts to introduce something reining in TSA.

I forwarded the text of the PA bill to my state senator and delegate, with a request for a similar bill here in Virginia. I referred only to rogue searchers conducting administrative searches, not to any particular agency.
Here's hoping that they follow up in a productive way. (Where "productive" means "arresting TSOs for sexual assault.")
Added on edit: How many emails to my legislative representatives do I have to send to upgrade my TSO DSP status? Can I at least claim Copper elite now?

Non airline elite levels follow the progression of mankind’s tool evolution stages, unless you learned history from a Texas Approved™ school text book, in which case you skip the levels older than 6660 years ago and start at Bronze.

Remember that the Texas bill formalizing the gropings as felony sexual assault (HB 1937) is being heard in committee TODAY. I doubt it would hurt for every Texan to call the committee members and briefly share their support. You can find a list with links to their official rep sites at the committee page: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/Committ...&CmteCode=C220

Hot damn. I'm actually starting to get somewhat optimistic.
I received a letter from my PA state legislator today that their is a public hearing on this on 3/30. Unfortunately, I will be traveling and unable to attend.
