53. The vote was 100% against the TSA. I know you don't like it.
But not much you can do. This is moving ahead and I feel confident these violations of people's rights will be stopped far more quickly than originally expected. The Senate will pass it because that is what the people want. And since the Feds have no standing to use their Supremacy status since they are in violation of the Constitution, this is simply fantastic news. Way more than I had expected this soon.

The truth is the American people do not like their Constitutional rights being violated, especially by their own government. Eight states now moving to make these pat-downs and obscene machines illegal and it's only been six months!!

I am proud of the American people! :applause:

The TSA blogger is having a hard time also. I see you got your stats from him. No wonder they were so off. I have not filed a complaint and neither has any member of my family or friends, yet every one of them feels the same way. So his numbers are worthless. The TSA is the last place most people are going to complain to.

My complaints, and those of my family and friends will be going to our legislators. I am thrilled with how the people are protecting their rights.

Frankly I thought this would take a couple of years.

As for the link, this story has been covered by numerous news outlets. Google it if you don't like this link, there are lots more. This is a bi-partisan issue, an American issue. The implementation of these anti-Constitutional tactics were bi-partisan also, sadly. The party we put into power was supposed to stop these Bush tactics. But hey, we the people have the power to do that ourselves, and that is what we are doing.
