Rand Paul detained: Rep. refuses airport patdown
« on: January 23, 2012, 05:13:56 pm »
If this was your normal run of mill loud mouth and not a Congressman he would have been arrested.

Quote
Republican Senator Rand Paul was stopped at an airport on Monday for setting off an alarm and refusing a patdown, prompting his father, U.S. presidential candidate Ron Paul, to accuse security officials of being part of an "out of control" police state.  In a harshly worded attack on the Transportation Security Administration, which handles security screenings at U.S. airports, Ron Paul, known for his strident libertarian views, said the TSA "gropes and grabs our kids and our seniors and does nothing to keep us safe."

After Rand Paul refused the patdown, he was escorted out of the airport security area in Nashville,Tennessee, by local authorities, the TSA said. Paul missed his flight to Washington, but was later rebooked and rescreened without incident.

Not sure how to feel about this
While this is stupid and immature etc, he's right about the patdowns being intrusive

...Really? "Out of control"? I also saw the exact quote and it was even worse.

Funny how pat downs and other invasive measures of "security" are necessary for our safety, until it's a senator.

I'm torn...I can't stand Rand Paul, and acting like an ass was the wrong way to go about it, but it's true the pat down whole security issue is out of control. That being said I found it funny the part about Ron Paul having "strident libertarian" views...yeah as long as you're a Straight white christian male...

You almost have to wonder if he made one of those trite "Do you know who I am?" remarks.  The TSA/law enforcement doesn't give a shit who you are. :P

Well, unless you raise a gigantic fucking stink with the news.

I almost wish I worked for the TSA. Some politician comes through and gets uppity because I DARE to follow the rules with him, I'd slam him against a wall a little harder and cuff the fucker.
