Good luck. Don't know what her opinion is on the grope, but be aware that she did co-sponsor S.3536 -- SAFER AIR Act of 2010
Look it up in
Thomas
Here are some nuggets from that legislation:
(a) Findings- Congress makes the following findings:
(3) However, detection devices employing advanced imaging technology (formerly known as whole-body imaging), and other technologies currently available, such as trace detection equipment, can be used to identify or detect on-body plastic explosives and other nonmetallic explosives, including pentaerythritol tetranitrate, as well as other materials that can be used as weapons.
(4) Despite these capabilities, advanced imaging technology has not been fully deployed in the United States or abroad. Through 2009, the Department of Homeland Security used 40 advanced imaging technology units in 19 airports in the United States. Only 6 of those airports used advanced imaging for primary screening, and only then in a limited role at the airport.
(1) IN GENERAL- The Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that advanced imaging technology and other advanced technology with the capability to detect weapons, on-body plastic explosives, and other nonmetallic explosives, are deployed, individually or in combination with each other, in a timely and effective manner for the primary screening of aircraft passengers in accordance with this subsection.
