The U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to House and Texas Senate leaders Tuesday -- reportedly in person -- threatening a shut-down of airports if HB 1937 is passed.
The letter claims Rep. David Simpson's (R-Longview) anti-TSA-groping bill is against federal law and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. We include the text of the DOJ's letter, as well as a portion of Simpson's reply, below.

Looks like a Mexican standoff. I think the Texas legislature will fold since the Feds can shut down air travel whenever they feel like it.

Texas has a wide variety of ways it can respond to this threat including those dealing with the interstate commerce of vital energy supplies used to support the regime in Washington, DC.

Bravo, Texas! I quit flying after being groped at the San Francisco airport last Christmas, and I’ll stay away as long as this policy is in effect.

No idea why the federales would shut down airtravel. All they need to do is get one of the gropers arrested by Texas authorities and walk into court immediately and say "in the performance of his duties" and the judge will turn him loose.
The law is not enforceable as long as the TSA agent is a public employee. If he's a contract employee that might be a little different.
On the other hand if TSA lets the employee be arrested, tried and convicted, and simply shuts down air travel, ALL the TSA employees in the entire United States will WALK OFF THE JOB.
