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

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.

There is NO upside. Trading one violation of your rights for another is NO TRADE. I was forced to drive my family, including my 1 year old daughter, 3000 miles for a funeral last week because I refuse to submit to the illegal searches being conducted at the airports. I can not afford civil disobedience, but I can use alternate modes of transportation until those are taken away as well.
 
Was just reading some comments over at politico, there seems to be a lot of "he is not above the law, good job TSA!" type opinions from both sides of the isle.

These people's support for the violation of their own rights are by far the biggest enemy to our Constitution, far bigger a threat than any thing that comes out of D.C.

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!!!

I'm sure the TSA agents involved are just following procedures -- they don't want to get fired. Doesn't make it right, but they are not targeting Rand. Any person refusing a patdown after a scan shows something would be detained. It's great that they are drawing attention to this; hopefully it will spark some outrage in the same way SOPA did.
 
Blogs about this are sounding downright favorable! Go Rand, etc. Excellent opportunity to educate people.
 
They should really investigate why only hot chicks are allowed to be journalists. The MsM has become Hooters.

UPDATE: The TSA said Sen. Rand Paul was not detained at any point.


The spin begins.

This is why it is pretty much hopeless. The country is already toast.
 
“He was escorted out of the screening area by local law enforcement.”

so what if Rand decided he wouldn't comply and started for the plane?...tazed or shot, gang tackled?.....

ok, i'm getting too pissed. A matter of time now that i get banned...need a break...fuck.

I took it to mean the full metal detector, not the porno scanners. If your version is the case I guess the physical hands on is his limit...

TSA is claiming it was nude o scope, but I am never one to believe their pure propaganda.
