Chaffetz' Comments Regarding TSA

Statement

Date: Sept. 25, 2009
Location: Washington, DC

"I'll continue doing my job by standing up for my constituents. Whole body imaging is as complete an invasion of privacy as there is. For the federal government to view passengers naked or to pressure or mislead them into believing they must enter an imaging machine before boarding a flight is flat out wrong. I fly every week, and I want airplanes to be as secure as possible. We can secure airplanes without totally surrendering our civil liberties. I suppose that's why the legislation I introduced passed the House on a bipartisan basis with 318 votes in favor of my legislation.

If the TSA fails to look out for a passenger by not following proper procedures I encourage them to contact my office, as they can count on me to be a loud voice for their privacy and personal freedoms."
