Texas House adjourns after failing TSA pat-down bill
The Texas House ended its special session without passing the proposed anti groping airport security measure. The bill, opposed by many Democrats and some Republicans, would criminalize inappropriate airport searches without reasonable suspicion but did not receive a final vote after a failed constitutional suspension. Gov Perry praised passage of most agenda items and warned more sessions could be called if needed.
