ALERT: Rand Paul is being DETAINED at the Nashville Airport by the TSA

[liveandletlive]

sad part is, most sheeple will probably whine about Rand Paul "Who does he think he is? Stop holding up the process! TSA just doing their job!"

pretty much the attitude of the average New Yorker, just go along to get along !

 

[tremendoustie]

still, could this be a warning?

or beginnings of martial law?

No, just them following their standard, massively wasteful, anti-liberty, anti-fourth amendment, unamerican procedures.

I'm sure that's his standard way of flying. Your options are: 1. Go through the radiation scan, 2: opt out and get frisked, or 3: don't fly.

3's out for him, for obvious reasons, and he seems to prefer 1 to 2.

I prefer 2, because it provides an opportunity to protest, and register opposition to their behavior.

He seems to find the scanner more tolerable than patdowns.

I suppose if you like getting radiated.

 

[slamhead]

I don't see how you could have got that from what I said and this obviously wasn't the case.



Actually it was well established by in 1972 in Gravel vs United States.

Eduardo you are misinterpreting this. It does not just apply to immunity during official business on the floor of congress. The founding father's intended to keep enemies from hindering a legislator traveling to and from congress. With the exception of "breach of peace" it is very clear that a senator cannot be arrested for minor crimes less than a misdemeanor. Back before there was air travel legislators would have to travel by land passing through other states and such. It was intended to keep political enemies from keeping a legislator from casting a vote on the floor of congress.

All I can say is that we should not be subjected to anyone frisking us if we haven't committed a crime. I was once frisked by a women police officer who had all the stereotypical markings of a dyke and she grabbed me by the balls and massaged them. It was some sort of power trip she was on. I was 17 years old and was asked to stop for no apparent reason and violated with no recourse. Just because someone wears a badge doesn't make them decent people. Some of these TSA people aren't even high school graduates and sent through minimal training while offered low wages.

Way to go, Rand! Draw the line and refuse!

First off, Gravel...would that be that older guy, what was his name....Mike? Ran for prez last time, I think? Anyone know?

Also - so when AlGore didn't have to obey traffic laws in DC - is that because it's just traffic laws or is that because like so much else in this country, it's selectively applied?

 

[sailingaway]

HAHAHA!!! No, the first question will be for Newt and why he's so emphatically against the TSA, NDAA, SOPA, PIPA and the Fed and wants to return to a Gold standard.

Gingrich said he wants to EXPAND the patriot act. Mind you I'm sure he was referring to adding the NDAA indefinite detention. But I would think he adores TSA.

 

[acptulsa]

Maybe they found the Constitution on him...

If so, they need to open it to Article I, Section 6.

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same...

How else do you think he get's someone to touch his 'private parts'?

by spending a half-million at Tiffany's

Yep. The important thing is to have a line.

I'd submit to the metal detector, because I feel it's prudent and warranted personally. I would refuse the body scanner and the pat down. Everyone has a limit of what they would take.

[Back In Black]

He shouldn't have even gone through the damn scanner.

 

[affa]

on twitter: "What was the anomaly found on the scanner? A backbone?"

This, and the alternate answer 'A pocket Constitution', should both be spread far and wide. Both are very powerful memes.
