As a result of aggressive efforts by grassroots groups in Texas, Governor Rick Perry has offered to put Rep. David Simpson’s TSA anti-groping bill on the agenda for the upcoming legislative special session which starts this coming week if certain conditions are met. Although threats from the Justice Department and the TSA temporarily stymied bill sponsors in the state Senate after it passed the House with an overwhelming majority, they are now ready to put it through both houses in the special session where rules require only a simple majority of both houses for passage. Governor Perry has promised to put the bill on the agenda if there is a guaranteed majority supporting it in both houses and to sign the bill if it passes. A good summary of the situation can be found in the Washington Times.
Simpson’s HB 1937 (now SB29 and HB41) would make it a felony for TSA agents operating in Texas to engage in certain forms of intimate touching during the course of an “enhanced pat down” of an airlin

This is ridiculous. The TSA are terrorists. They are the
enemy. They are tyranny. They are the Terrorists of Sexual Abuse. Perry is
playing politics and is deceitful and lying. If the anti-grouping bill is
passed he will veto it in the name of safety. Texas Governor Rick Perry is a
Bilderburger and an agent of the New World Order Conspiracy. He should be imprisoned,
not elected.
