Lawmakers and New Hampshire residents have had more than enough of the Transportation Security Administration, and they're not afraid to say so. They've introduced a bill that will make the extreme measures TSA has taken a crime punishable by prison time. And the convicted would have to register as sex offenders.

The introduction of the bill (HB628-FN) says it would make “the touching or viewing with a technological device of a person’s breasts or genitals by a government security agent without probable cause a sexual assault.”

So if they law gets passed, no more warrantless virtual strip searches or enhanced pat-downs.

“That is a crime in this state, and we should charge them every single time,” said bill co-sponsor Rep. George Lambert, R-Litchfield.

Rep. Andrew Manuse, R-Derry, another co-sponsor, said, “Let's put their name on the sex offender registry, and maybe that will tell them New Hampshire means business.”

Unfortunately, some members of the Criminal Justice Committee say that the TSA is under federal jurisdiction, and cannot be brought to task by state authorities.

So maybe some of these lawmakers need to be pushing the federal government to take a harder look at these procedures? Something should be done. People all over the nation are expressing discomfort with TSA's new procedures.

And yeah, we want to be safe, too. But to the detriment of personal privacy?
