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

Has anyone called the TSA to confirm???

Refusing patdown is not a felony! And private citizens can be sued for unlawfully detaining, so can private guards.

Sure, I'm not saying what the TSA is doing right, just correcting the person I quoted.

Afaik the most TSA could do if you refuse to get checked is to escort your off the airport premises.

They've been able to take our money, our privacy, our dignity, etc... They will get our internet too. It just will take more time. Little by little, in the name of security, protection, or what have you, they will take it as well.

"Protecting our Children from Pornographers Online" or some such nonsense is the next one up.

DRUDGE, DRUDGE, DRUDGE!

Can't wait to hear the whole story.

Sitting US senator detained by the government? Why isn't this bigger news?

Well, it has just happened or in the process of happening. I think this will be big news.

I wonder if Ron will use this in the debate, or if he'll miss the debate if this goes on too long.

It is incorrect, the people are allowing the TSA to detain without legal authority.

They also will not let you leave once the process is started, and that is unlawful detainment.

there are people that have requested a LEO to escort them out, and then gotten a bill from the TSA

I was waiting for this. I guess we should be happy that America stood up for something.

lol!

I suspect Rand missed the memo that Obama sits on the pinnacle of American government and is without peer.

[MsDoodahs]

You know what makes me so sad? I bet half the rank and file GOP are HOPING they use NDAA and vanish Rand.

Goddamn shame what this country has come to.
