Dozens rallying to stop "pat downs" at airport security lines rallied at the State Capitol today.

The group, "Texans for Accountable Government” wants a bill that would stop pat downs to be revisited during the special session.
Supporters believe those searches violate their constitutional rights.
“There's a group of people that are sick and tired of their families, children and themselves groped by the TSA,“ said group spokesperson Laura Pressley.
The State Senate blocked a bill that would ban pat downs last month.
Republicans withdrew their support, fearing a lawsuit from the federal government.
