George Soros?

No really. There is a name for it. That's what I think of when these people say "he should be detained like everyone else"

I just can't remember the word

Fox business just said that Rand rebooked the flight after the incident, went through the scanner and got onto the new flight

That is where things start to differ for the average person, others have tried to do that and get a trespass notice

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

Maybe he is opting out of both. I would!

 

[Todd]

I didn't think that Senators or public figures could be detained on their way to their job?
Any credibility to that?

 

[cindy25]

still, could this be a warning?

or beginnings of martial law?

Drudge has it front and center now, replaced that newt crap.

Watch for the msm to spin this into: He was NOT detained but instead refused to be patted down therefore they refused to let him on the flight (for safety reasons of course)

Well, they do say we are dangerous....

Let's hope he doesn't hijack that plane. We'd get a lot of bad press from that.

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

I think more should follow Rand's lead and just start refusing the whole process knowing they will get headlines for doing so.... Amash, i'm looking at you.

Umm, not exactly correct.

Private corporation guards can detain civilians until the real law enforcement arrives if something happens on the property they guard.

Even a civilian can detain another civilian if caught in the act of a felony, right?

Your a bit confused. Private guards are citizens. Your use of the word "Civilian" denotes a complete lack of understanding. Police are "civilians." Yes, citizens can detain another person if they see them in the commission of a felony. STOP giving our civil rights away by your lack of understanding of them.

Rand Paul in Pat-Down Standoff With TSA in Nashville

Sen. Rand Paul told his communications director this morning he was being detained by TSA at the Nashville airport.

The Twitter account associated with Paul staffer Moira Bagley, @moirabagley, tweeted around 10 a.m., ET, “Just got a call from @senrandpaul. He’s currently being detained by TSA in Nashville.”

A TSA spokesman said the agency was looking into the matter but could not immediately comment.

Paul apparently set off an airport security full-body scanner “on a glitch,” a spokesman in Paul’s office told ABC News.

The Paul staffer said TSA agents would not let Paul walk back through the body scanner and were demanding a full body pat-down.

The Paul spokesman said his office called TSA administrator John Pistole about the incident this morning.

The Senate is back in session today at 2 p.m., with votes scheduled at 4:30 p.m.

The issue of pat-downs has been an important one to Paul, the son of libertarian-leaning Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. Sen. Paul brought this issue up at a hearing earlier this year.

So, you are telling me that if a Senator is heading back to D.C. to vote on a bill and another part of the government keeps him from attending and VOTING, it is okey dokey?

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

WHERE? Because that is EXACTLY what it meant back in 1988. I was young and impressionable and that was the VERY THING that caught my attention from that article about AlGore - as a sitting US Senator, if on route to the Senate to do business, NO cops could detain him. PERIOD.

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

“While the Speech or Debate Clause recognizes speech, voting and other legislative acts as exempt from liability that otherwise might attach, it does not privilege either Senator or aide to violate an otherwise valid criminal law in preparing for or implementing legislative acts”
