DOJ Could Ban Texas Flights Over Anti-Patdown Law

Posted by timothy on from the don't-mess-with dept.

hellkyng writes "The Department of Justice may ban flights from Texas because of the Anti-Patdown law making its way through the legal system. Says Rep. David Simpson, 'Someone must make a stand against the atrocities of our government agents.' Should be interesting to see if Texas can pave the way for grope-free flying fun."

  1. This doesn't sound like Texas politics... by bradorsomething · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Something's going on in the background here... it's unlikely these legislators are taking such a myopic view. Say the TSA tries to ban flights to Texas... really? Would anyone stand for this? Even a Californian would stand up for Texas if that were to happen. Even an Oregonian... hell, maybe even someone from Delaware.

    This bill sounds like something John Wayne would support, which means it should be gravy to pass through the Texas house.
