Safe Mode: On
House Bill Would Criminalize Doing Satire of TSA (USA NEWS!).



(USA NEWS!). On September 22, 2011, H.R. 3011 was introduced in the House. It is
entitled the "Transportation Security Administration Authorization Act
of 2011" and it contains some curious language.

Two thirds of the
way through the ponderous bill, in Sec. 295, we find the following:

Whoever,
except with the written permission of the Assistant Secretary for
Transportation Security (or the Director of the Federal Air Marshal
Service for issues involving the Federal Air Marshal Service), knowingly
uses the words 'Transportation Security Administration', 'United States
Transportation Security Administration', 'Federal Air Marshal Service',
'United States Federal Air Marshal Service', 'Federal Air Marshals',
the initials 'T.S.A.', 'F.A.M.S.', 'F.A.M.', or any colorable imitation
of such words or initials, or the likeness of a Transportation Security
Administration or Federal Air Marshal Service badge, logo, or insignia
on any item of apparel, in connection with any advertisement, circular,
book, pamphlet, software, or other publication, or with any play, motion
picture, broadcast, telecast, or other production, in a matter that is
reasonably calculated to convey the impression that the wearer of the
item of apparel is acting pursuant to the legal authority of the
Transportation Security Administration or Federal Air Marshal Service,
or to convey the impression that such advertisement, circular, book,
pamphlet, software, or other publication, or such play, motion picture,
broadcast, telecast, or other production, is approved, endorsed, or
authorized by the Transportation Security Administration or Federal Air
Marshal Service .(Emphasis added.)

In other words, if you print a
t-shirt or produce a publication with a TSA logo, the government may
soon be able to arrest and prosecute you.

The language states
that it would be illegal to "convey the impression" that you are
representing the TSA, but this interpretation would likely be left to
federal prosecutors.

In the past, satire was protected under the
First Amendment, but it may soon be illegal to poke fun at the TSA or
use its logo or even utter its name. Notice there is no exception in the
above language for parody.

Political satire is as old as the
Greeks and the Bible. But it may now become a punishable crime if this
legislation is enacted.

The TSA and the Justice Department are
obviously serious about making sure we don't criticize their Gestapo
operation. Since they began irradiating citizens with naked body
scanners and shoving their hands down the pants of old ladies and grade
school kids, public outrage has reached a crescendo.http://www.infowars.com/house-bill-would-criminalize-satire-of-tsa/
