Ron Paul: The American People Have Been Too Submissive

This one is on the new TSA security pat-downs which are designed to intimidate travellers into the full-body scans.

This Act may be cited as the `American Traveller Dignity Act of 2010′.

No law of the United States shall be construed to confer any immunity for a Federal employee or agency or any individual or entity that receives Federal funds, who subjects an individual to any physical contact (including contact with any clothing the individual is wearing), x-rays, or millimeter waves, or aids in the creation of or views a representation of any part of a individual’s body covered by clothing as a condition for such individual to be in an airport or to fly in an aircraft. The preceding sentence shall apply even if the individual or the individual’s parent, guardian, or any other individual gives consent.

-111th Congress (2009-2010), H.R.6416.IH
