Texas Bill Would Make Invasive Pat-Downs a Felony after:
MISS USA SEXUALLY ASSUALTED BY TSA
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A former Miss USA's claims of being molested during a pat-down at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport could be a felony under a bill gaining momentum in the Texas Legislature. The bill would make it illegal for a security officer to intentionally touch someone's private areas -- even atop clothing -- unless they have probable cause to believe the person is carrying something illegal. Bill sponsor State Rep. David Simpson says the searches are removing people's dignity. Last fall the Transportation Security Administration started a new pat-down procedure. Susie Castillo, crowned Miss USA , said she was "molested" during a pat-down last April.
In the video above, beauty queen Susie Castillo, says a TSA “screener” fondled her vagina during an intrusive pat-down. Ms. Castillo was subjected to the groping after she refused to enter a naked body scanner at the airport in Dallas, Texas. On April 15, CNN reported that people who complain about naked body scanners and intrusive airport pat-downs will be investigated as terrorists and criminals. Lawmakers around the country have introduced legislation designed to rollback the pat-downs after the public and airline employees voiced complaints. In March, legislation was introduced into the Texas House of Representatives directly challenging the authority of the TSA in airports within the state and specifically aimed at criminalizing the use of naked body scanners and enhanced pat-downs. In January, former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura launched a lawsuit against the TSA for subjecting him to humiliating pat-downs as he traveled for his work. Ventura said that he would “no longer be forced by the TSA to prove he is not a criminal or terrorist.” Earlier this week, Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security, said the TSA had the authority to conduct an intrusive sexual pat-down on a six year old girl. “Parts of the pat down, in another setting, clearly constituted the kind of inappropriate touching that, if done by anyone else, would have resulted in charges of child abuse and sexual assault.
Police Arrest Homeless Woman For Enrolling Son In School
A Connecticut mother who says she just wanted to give her son an education will be arraigned on Wednesday on charges for enrolling the 6-year-old in another town, sparking outrage and support from people nationwide. Tanya McDowell, a 33-year-old homeless woman whose last known address was in Bridgeport, Conn, is scheduled to be arraigned on charges of larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny for allegedly stealing $15,686 from Norwalk schools. Prosecutors allege that figure is the value of her son’s education at Norwalk’s Brookside Elementary School between the time he was illegally enrolled in January and McDowell’s arrest on April 14. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison.
