Here is the first video released on the topic....

This is playing right into his hands.

The media spin will be this is fake publicity for Ron's campaign and Rand thinks he is above the law for not subjecting himself to the groping.

We know the truth, be we also know the media.

They may well not make it a big story so as to not help Ron's campaign.

I suspect Rand is going to have a lot to say about this once released.

so the porno scanner is okay but groping isn't. Oh well, at least he is opposing groping...

Well, there is the other option...not flying, which apparently is the one that will take place.

The story is at the top of Drudge now.

That's exactly the option that I and millions of others have chosen in protest of these unconstitutional measures.

This is upside down IMO.

A physical pat down is less intrusive than a full body biometric "fingerprint" uploaded into the database.

Not to mention the radiation health concerns.

OPT OUT

damn we're dangerous .. ps think dudge just updated

 

[captain]

REALLY? I mean what is with TSA? Who do they think they are? This is a US Senator not just 'Joe blow'---TSA needs to get a grip. To not allow Rand to fly and detain him really pisses me off. They know Rand talked against them publicly. They are just being NASTY UGLY VINDICTIVE people.

Ron Paul HAS to win the Presidential race!!!

 

[floridasun1983]

I don't see this as anything other than an American citizen saying "no" to government intrusion on his privacy. I guess you can spin it however you want but my take is Rand didn't want to be fondled by a bunch of high school drop outs. I agree with him.

Kind of a bad ass picture I think!

Yep, that's what I do. My main motivation is to protest their violation of people's privacy rights, at taxpayer expense.

Of course, your statement per-supposes that the TSA won't start their shenanigans on the trains and highways - which of course they have already been doing or plan on doing.
