New Hampshire Legislators Propose Bill to Make Pat-Downs a Crime
A bill proposed by New Hampshire legislators would make random Transportation Security Administration (TSA) pat-downs and full-body scans a crime in the state. Under the proposed legislation, an airport security screener who conducts a pat-down or full-body scan without probable cause could be subject to felony sexual assault charges – though the Manchester Boston Regional Airport does not yet have full-body scanners. The bill would also apply to security searches at courthouses. It proposes… (news.travel.aol.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Too bad the federal courts will probably strike it down even if it passes. Probably under the Patriot Act, or national security, or something like that.
it's about time - not all travellers are hijackers or terrorists and should be man/woman handled as such - as Judge Wapner used to say "if the preponderance of the evidnece shows otherwise" than yes.
New Hampshire seems to be the only state that actually has law makers with any sense of duty to the country and to it's people

sorry typo evidance
I am not sure the court will try, MHT is the only place it would be used, Not sure it would be worth it. I have family there, fly in and out of KCON, as well as KMHT,they actually still believe in "Live free or Die" they have tried to impose taxes also, that does not work either.

andy, correct sorry, just what they listed...............
I just don't see what the big deal with pat-downs is. I flew out of MHT this past weekend, and was patted down by a male screener at the security checkpoint. He was very professional, courteous, polite, explained what he was going to do, asked me a few questions, and I was on my way. How is this sexual assault? He never violated me or my privacy. He was doing nothing but his job. He did this with everybody who was in line (female passengers were screened by female screeners). People in this country need to realize that flying on an airplane is not a right (nowhere in the Constitution does it say "a person has the right to travel by airplane"), it is a privilege and should be treated as so. If you don't want to go through the proper procedure to get on and travel by airplane, then you don't get to go. Simple as that.
