State lawmakers

This is good. State lawmakers are held slightly more accountable than federal officials, and so they are starting to take action. The local laws that have been proposed defining TSA searches as assault are fantastic. Now Hawaiians and Alaskans are banding together on their common right to be able to move freely about the country.

Dear Mr. Marshall:

This is in response to your email received by our office on November 12,
2010.

We understand you are disappointed with the new security measures by the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA).  Although we understand your
concern, regretfully, any issues dealing with security at the airports are
referred directly to TSA.  Please visit their website at www.tsa.gov
<http://www.tsa.gov> to file your complaint directly with them.
