Submission + - The American Traveler Dignity Act (house.gov)
An anonymous reader writes: Rep. Ron Paul has introduced the American Traveler Dignity Act. As he explains it, 'My legislation is simple. It establishes that airport security screeners are not immune from any US law regarding physical contact with another person, making images of another person, or causing physical harm through the use of radiation-emitting machinery on another person. It means they are subject to the same laws as the rest of us. Imagine if the political elites in our country were forced to endure the same conditions at the airport as business travelers, families, senior citizens, and the rest of us. Perhaps this problem could be quickly resolved if every cabinet secretary, every member of Congress, and every department head in the Obama administration were forced to submit to the same degrading screening process as the people who pay their salaries.' There's also video of the introduction of this bill and you can write your representatives if you want to let them know how you feel about this issue.
