The proper response to a law maker breaking the law is to respond with "Then you of all people should have known better," not by letting them off easy, irregardless of which way they voted on the matter.

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

If Al Gore and Donald Rumsfeld both had to sit through it you can too, Mr. Paul.

Lithp and Vene really need to have some kind of confusing sexual encounter where Vene spends the entire session lovingly insulting Lithp's technique, then cums on his face, ruffles his hair, says, "You're all right, kid!", and then punches him in the nuts.

God damn it Rand :insert facepalm meme:. We get it, you're a "libertarian" and you oppose the TSA searches. Believe me, we all know they are not making anyone safer, they just waste our time, and they really just want a free grope session on a 13 year old which won't land them in jail. We understand. Everyone has wanted to tell off these insignificant waste of organs in TSA jumpsuits. The only reason we haven't yet is because there are hundreds of people behind us who have to endure the exact same thing and we don't want to be the asshole that holds up the line wasting the time of those good people. So thanks Rand. Thanks for being that asshole that cares more about your little potshot on a TSA agent than the people behind you who just want to catch a flight.

EDIT: 100 post  ;D ;D ;D

Huh. So Ron Paul believes that his son should be granted privileges and considerations not given to others why? Because he is Ron Paul's son? Because he is a congressman? I'm sorry, you set off the metal detectors and you get additional screening. You don't get waved through because of who your daddy is or what you do for a living. So much for Ron Paul's "libertarian" views. He honestly does think that some people are elite.

There is a simple solution. Check all your pockets and remove any clothing with metal attached (unless it's pants or a shirt). When I travel I do the full pat down on myself before going through the scanner

To be fair, Ron Paul's against the current security measures at Airports.  So it's not so much that Rand Paul is too important, but that they don't believe anyone should be subjected to it.

I hate to defend the Pauls, but let's use their actual positions against them.

Just so you guys know...you can't detain a sitting congressmen when congress(or body of whatever the legislature is called), is sitting.  So there is some sort of precedence.  But still, this is a rather douchey move on these two.

Ironbite-not that I don't see them being douch-bags when they're confronted by someone with a tiny smidgen of authority above them.
