Commission opposes ABIA body scanners
AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin's Airport Advisory Commission approved a resolution on Tuesday night advising the city council to oppose airport body scanners and invasive body searches...

That group was among many people testifying before the commission, trying to convince members to oppose the scanners. In the past, TAG has put up privacy fights against the APD blood draw program, private data concerns at Austin's Fusion Center, and even accountability for toll roads.

Beyond the commission, TAG is planning to meet with Austin City Council members on Friday to further discuss the issue. The group is also planning a protest in the airport terminal on Saturday.

Kudos to those feisty Austin folks taking on the TSA.
