These guys just do not know when to quit do they?  It's like they WANT more stores and businesses to ban them.

I'd gasp, but I'm not surprised in the least.

From the article:
"Simpson was unavailable for comment at time of this story's publication. He'd previously told Raw Story that if states do not stand up to the TSA on airport security, similar security measures would start appearing at sporting events and even in the general public."
The worst part being that my (former) economics professor actually directed stated that we need those kind of measures.  Seriously.

Too bad they wimped out and stopped the bill. Figures, the one time I agree with Texas and they back down....

In the article it said that they withdrew.

QuoteAs a result, the bill's co-sponsor in the Texas Senate withdrew the legislation. It had cleared the Texas House by unanimous vote.
