Barbieri seeks to ban TSA patdowns

On Monday, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was detained by airport security in Nashvillefor refusing to take a pat-down by Transportation Security Agency officials.

Maybe Idaho state Rep. Vito Barbieri,R-Dalton Gardens, sympathizes with the U.S.senator because he is readying a bill that would outlaw unwanted TSA searches within the GemState's borders.

In an interview with IdahoReporter.com, Barbieri said the pat-downs do little to improve airline security and are more for show than anything else. "I'm just adding that federal TSA personnel cannot touch a person that does not want to be touched," Barbieri said. "And if they do, without consent, they are subject to the state battery law." /Dustin Hurst/IdahoReporter.com  Read more here
