Because they are carrying out duties authorized under law.<br /><br />Now, when they single out the Hooters waitress for "random" intensive search every time she comes through, that meets the definitions, since they aren't doing it in the lawful course of their duty, but for titilation.Geodkythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328915597574377444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707578.post-90578198489857682722011-05-04T09:11:29.228-04:002011-05-04T09:11:29.228-04:00Presumably you are giving your consent to what cou...Presumably you are giving your consent to what could be described as sexual battery.

This would seem to be sexual battery by means of extortion which is a form of coercion.

Sexual battery by an authority figure" fit the bill. The argument can be made that working for the TSA in the capacity of a screener is not forced. And that knowing that you would have to perform duties such as inappropriately touching the genital areas of minors and adults, one can easily conclude that some level of satisfaction or 'gratification' is obtained by terrorizing free people!<br /><br />If the bad guys can twist the wording of statutes to get them off, the reverse must be allowed too!Jack'o'all Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358609286084139304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707578.post-21008429618918414222011-05-03T11:56:35.532-04:002011-05-03T11:56:35.532-04:00Okay, I'll bite.

I feel I've seen the crime (by the listed definitions) of "Sexual Battery". <br /><br />Because; under paragraph (4) the sexual contact is accomplished by fraud.<br /><br />The 'fraud' being this whole Homeland Security fiasco. We could go on and into greater depth, but you get the idea...<br /><br />All The Best,<br />Frank W. JamesFrank W.

I live in a different state, so I used the laws <a href="http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/" rel="nofollow">there</a>. <br /><br />The only applicable charge I can see is assault or aggravated assault, depending on if the TSA person is armed. Given that simple assault is a misdemeanor (I don't see the felony upgrades applying) I don't see how mass arrests would be worthwhile.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792371712102784425noreply@blogger.com
