Colorado Lawyer Files for Injunction Against Janet Napolitano and the TSA
Colorado lawyer Gary Fielder has filed for a Permanent Restraining Order in federal district court against Janet Napolitano, John Pistole, the Department of Homeland Security, and the TSA. Attorney Fielder made headlines earlier this year when he refused to go through a naked body scanner installed at a Colorado courthouse. He has now filed a Complaint for Injunctive Relief to stop the naked body scanners and enhanced pat downs at our nation's airports.
In his complaint, he details his personal story of how he and his daughters were treated during an "enhanced pat down" by the TSA on a recent trip to San Diego, describing the TSA agents' behavior as "disgusting, unconscionable, sexual in nature, unnecessary, and a complete violation of his and his children’s constitutional rights."
The complaint presented in full.
In the same vein, a California District Attorney has vowed to prosecute screeners who touch travelers inappropriately. He says he'll charge them with sexual battery.
