Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

January 7 2011

The management of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport intends to file a protest with Texas state liquor regulators over the opening of Rick?s Cabaret, a strip club that will be built near the airport.

The owners of the club have paid $4.5 million for the building and obtained all of the required permits. They intend for the facility to be open for business in time for the Super Bowl.

The DFW Airport management protests that the strip club will attract a disreputable clientele. ?I?m not real happy about our flights coming in here and looking down on [strip club advertisements] and that kind of operation,? observes Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief.

As Loyola University economist Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo points out, strip clubs generally employ security guards to prevent patrons from groping the performers. The federal TSA, however, ?employs scores of slovenly-looking bureaucrats to threaten you with jail if you protest being groped.?

If they are really concerned about public decency, the DFW airport management should begin by firing the TSA.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
