Until now, no state government has openly considered standing up to the TSA. Texas has given me renewed hope that the states will finally say - "Enough!" I hope they, and other states, pass this kind of legislation and enforce it.
The feds say they have the right to require TSA security measures and people have no right to refuse. What the feds cannot do, however, is stop a sworn peace officer in their own jurisdiction from arresting a TSA uniformed guard who has committed a felony. Some might argue they already have the duty to stop any form of public humiliation or physical touching of children by strangers, but that's another story.
The argument has already been made that if a person were to properly report a TSA pat-down as a sexual assault, most states already have existing laws that would require law enforcement to investigate and take suspects into custody.
