New NFL Security Rules Have Ire Of Congresswoman Ann Wagner

If you follow U.S. Representative Ann Wagner (R-Ballwin) on Twitter, you'll notice that she'll Tweet about everything from Obamacare to other policy matters. She'll throw in Tweets about official appearances in her district, along with going to St. Louis Cardinal games and other events.

Over the weekend, she attended the St. Louis Rams-Green Bay Packers exhibition game at the Edward Jones Dome and she took to social media to express her frustration with new NFL rules that limit fans to clear, plastic, vinyl or PVC bags, or small clutch purses no larger than the size of your hand.

"This new NFL "bag" policy to search women's purses is a huge inconvenience and a violation of our privacy. This will not stand!#GoRams"

"This new NFL "bag" policy is absurd and a violation of my privacy. Whatever happened to having concealed lipstick?"

The NFL says the new restrictions were in the works before the Boston Marathon bombing, when scrutiny about bags at large-scale events posted security questions.

When Patch asked Representative Wagner if she was speaking as a fan or as a lawmaker, she Tweeted "Both". It is unclear if she plans to take any formal steps to address the new security measures. The NFL said major universities like Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State don't allow bags of any kind, and that the revised requirements will make the screening process move faster.

Still, WIL Radio host Cornbread sounded Monday like he was in Rep. Wagner's corner, going as far as suggesting a fan protest, according to video posted on KSDK.com.
