STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Eleven
A RESOLUTION urging the President and Congress to address the privacy, constitutional, safety, and religious freedom concerns presented by advanced imaging technology employed by the Transportation Security Agency at the nation's airports.
Whereas, the federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently adopted more stringent screening procedures at the nation’s airports, requiring the use of full body imaging machines and enhanced pat-downs; and
Whereas, many Americans have objected to the such measures as overly intrusive and a violation of privacy; and
Whereas, repeated exposure to radiation from the scans presents an unknown and potentially serious health risk; and
Whereas, many travelers have found the pat-down searches conducted by employees of the TSA to be a humiliating experience bordering on physical and emotional abuse; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the general court of New Hampshire respectfully urges the President and Congress of the United States to immediately address the serious privacy, constitutional, safety, and religious freedom concerns presented by advanced imaging technology employed by Transportation Security Agency employees at the nation’s airports; and if these concerns cannot be satisfactorily addressed, urges the discontinuation of their use; and
That copies of this resolution, signed by the speaker of the house of representatives and the senate president, be forwarded by the house clerk to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and to each member of the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
Approved: June 1, 2011
