What’s the saying? “We do not negotiate with terrorists?” If only that were true of the lawmakers in Texas and everywhere else in the U.S. for that matter, because based on what I’m seeing nationwide, not only do we negotiate with terrorists, but we throw our own women and children at them as a sacrifice to appease their demonic appetites. Harsh words, perhaps, yes. But no harsher than the inexcusable cowardice which is being demonstrated by State Governments all over this nation in response to the DHS and TSA policies of stripping the freedoms from this nation’s air travelers.
I find this incredibly disturbing. Apparently the Federal Government has threatened Texas that if they do not allow the unlawful sexually invasive pat downs to continue in their state, the Feds will make Texas a “no fly zone.”
Texas has admirably been working on passing legislation which would make it illegal for the TSA trademarked pat downs to take place. Unfortunately, this threat seems to have been all that was needed to get the sponsoring State Senator to pull the proposed legislation thus negating any vote on it.
You know, more so than this heinous mob group called The Department of Homeland Security, I find cowards to be even more reprehensible. I simply cannot abide them for any purpose nor to any length. There was a time that such cowardice behavior constituted death to the coward, based on the belief that if one would not fight for freedom he was no longer eligible to enjoy its fruits.
Texas, and every other state in this nation, do the right thing and don’t back down from repealing this horrific practice from our airports! It has NEVER resulted in any good for any citizen of this nation. It blackens the heart and sensibilities of those who perform the searches and it dehumanizes those who are forced to endure such a blatant threat of false imprisonment, and many other constitutional violations and assaults.
Where are our brave men and women within the borders of this nation who will fight for our freedoms? Have they all been deployed to foreign nations to play a part in the amateur and deceptive production of “World Peace”?

Very inspiring post. I hope Texas does exactly as you exhort them to.
I recently went to the SLC airport to pick up my mother who is wheelchair bound due to a stroke. I asked for a gate pass to be able to wheel her from the plane. When I got to the security it was nearly empty and they were only using the “naked scanners.” I asked if I could walk through the metal detector and they-TSA said no only the scanner. I said no thank you and turned to leave. They said What? you can’t leave. I said, I’m not flying, someone else can wheel my mom out. I don’t want the scan. The guy winked and smiled at me and said that he would be glad to do a full body pat down instead (like I said the place was empty) I said No Thank You! and waited outside the security area for an airline employee to wheel my mother out. We are not dealing with America’s finest here.
