Civil Liberties: TSA
I do not support any part of the Transportation Security Administration nor its parent company, the Department of Homeland Security.
As a Texas State Representative I would support any legislation aimed at removing the TSA from within the State of Texas.
As a minimal first measure, I would proudly support any legislation aimed at prohibiting the use of so-called full body scanners (including both millimeter wave and backscatter technologies) within the State of Texas. I would openly defy any threat from the federal government to "close" airspace for not complying with the TSA. Furthermore, I would proudly and excitedly welcome the idea of letting Texas lead the charge against this egregious overreaching abuse of federal power.
