- Governor Perry running for President? WSJ – Jason
- Speaking of Governor Perry, in the special session of the Texas Legislature, lawmakers have been considering a bill that would ban TSA pat downs that are over invasive and often include the touching of “private parts.” While the bill is not going to pass, the TSA got renewed criticism over the weekend when they asked a 95 year old woman to remove her adult diaper during a security screening. (http://www.nwfdailynews.com/news/mother-41324-search-adult.html). Now, I understand the need for security but, at some point, do these types of searches actually represent an affront against human dignity?
