Rand Paul Detained In Nashville For Refusing Full Body Pat Down
The political news on this slowish Monday morning comes courtesy of the TSA and those who object to their policies, such as in this case Senator Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, who has just been detained for refusing a full body pat down. This should teach Rand Paul to not accept Wall Street (and/or Warren Buffett) donations of free NetJets hours.

Bloomberg has some more:
- Irregularities during screening must be resolved before passenger can proceed to secure area of airport, TSA says
- Paul underwent screening by millimeter wave imaging technology; targeted pat down is procedure for resolving alarms from scan, TSA says
- Paul tells AP he was “detained” in a small cubicle, missed his flight to Washington, situation reflects concern TSA shouldn’t be “spending so much time with people who wouldn’t attack us”
From Reuters:
Republican Senator Rand Paul, son of presidential candidate Ron Paul, was detained on Monday by security officials at an airport in Nashville, Tennessee, an aide said.
Press secretary Moira Bagley wrote in a Twitter message that the senator told her at 10 a.m. EST, that he was being "detained by TSA (Transportation Security Administration) in Nashville."
Ron Paul, a congressman and Republican presidential hopeful, tweeted that his son was being detained for refusing a full-body pat-down "after anomaly in body scanner."
Something tells us the TSA budget is about to be severely curtailed...

Seriously? What shit.
Let's go get the fuckers.
Fight the power!
PAPERS PLEASE!
The SPLC has been warning about trouble makers like Rand Paul for a long time now. They were mocked and derided by the libertarian community at the time. Well, look who's laughing now.
I'm not. Those fuckers that guard the groping stations are getting radiated to death. No one, not even sheeple, deserves that.
Scientists Question TSA Scanners:

Well call me crazy, but I like feeling secure when I'm travelling by air. Do you seriously think we can just let any potential terrorist fly without proper security measures? LOL. Let me guess, you're another PURIST libertarian who doesn't want ANY pat downs or body scanning at airports. Sorry but the world is not black and white, it comes in SHADES OF GREY.
There are plenty of successful models for airport security that don't involve groping and potentially harmful scanning devices. 9/11 wouldn't have been stopped by a porno scanner. It could have been stopped by locking the cockpit door, and by having passengers that are more aware and less like sheep.
the TSA detected a pocket USA Constitution in Senator Paul's pants. That is surely a terrorist weapon by their standards
Don’t know what the problem is with Rand, Barney Frank didn’t even make a peep about a full cavity search!
Oh, except for the Queef.
Hah!
Maybe the anomaly they discovered was a Senator with BALLS?
ori
/au-k
He's a SENATOR, what do these stupid thugs think they are doing?
"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."
--Article I, Section 6, US Constitution
Yes, the thugs are going to have some real enemies int he Senate now.
This article has been up about an hour and last I looked closing in on 300 replies. Fastest ever?
Signs point to yes.
Rand Paul's detention is Rush's first topic of the day.
Get your filthy hands off of our liberty advocate, fascist dogs!
TSA lol

That was not nearly enough angst.. next time, with a little more enthusiasm please..
TSA Idiocracy Screener to Rand Paul:
that comment rate you posit seems very.... sustainable
Going long "Up Arrows".. :)
The TSA is simply following Obama's lead. Why worry about what the Constitution says? It's a barbarous relic, not good for anything in the 21st century.
Not Bad, but you highlighted the wrong section. In anticipation;
While its true that there is a legal difference between detention and arrest, (Arrest is for suspected criminals, detention is a law enforcemnt procedure for purposes of assisting an investigation (questioning, for example), the TSA still violated Article 1 Sec 6;
and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."
IF Paul was questioned in any capacity by law enforcement, they violated Art1 Sec 6
Hate to pick a nit, but they are going to argue that detention is not arrest, and they will be right.
You know, I'm with MDB on this one. The father, Ron Paul, is a kindly looking gentelman, but Rand Paul looks kind of aggressive. I'm not so sure about him.
Besides, the TSA, who protect us from terrorists, can't show favoritism. We all have to bear up under their inspections.
"Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."
Right! How about, you aren't allowed on an airplane unless you ARE packing heat! Live free or die!
How about we terminate the bastards who threaten us to begin with? What happened to "you are either with us or against us"? I am tired of these dumbshits treating me as a suspect just because I want to fly to Florida or New York. Anymore, flying sucks.
It might make sense if the whole terrorist hoax wasn’t being run by the overthrown federal government. WTC 93’ was entirely created by the US gov. and run by a special unit with the FBI… It came out in court that the FBI directed the whole thing through their informant, former Egyptian Intelligence Officer and explosives expert, Amhad Salem. The FBI even supplied the explosives.
And get this – the Bush family business partners, (Bin Laden) got a big chunk of the repair contract.
The Oklahoma City bombing was run by Clinton, elements of the FBI and ATF.
The Underwear Bomber was a drugged up patsy put on the plane by the CIA with no passport or boarding pass. It came out later the State Department was ordered to allow him to get aboard…National Security. Body Scanners were announced in this News/Lie Cycle.
9-11 is the biggest hoax in history.
There are about eight crime families responsible for this entire nightmare.
Turn off your TV, quit ingesting the medicated food and water, and use your head.
That's just crazy talk.

No, it's the truth. A good beginner's exposure for you might be to watch a history of false flag terror. --- Terrorstorm-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrXgLhkv21Y
benb - I think Spastica is being sarcastic. Note the +1.
Thanks for your efforts.
Maybe you're right. The enemy is under every rock you know .(HEHEHEHE)
Richard N. Hass stated in essence in Club of Rome documents in the early 1990’s; republished two years ago in Council On Foreign Relations documents – paraphrased -We will use phony terrorism as one pincer to police and control the public and take their rights and the other pincer that we will grab them with is fake environmentalism; carbon taxes to regulate every facet of life.
Which court was this that revealed the WTC'93 attack was FBI? Where is this testimony?
Federal District Court of NY (IIRC) -
The WTC 93 Bombing was a totally financed and run US Intel operation. Salem, the former Egyptian military officer and demolition expert, was an FBI informant. He was brought here by the US government for this purpose. When Salem was told by his FBI handler to use real explosives instead of inert ingredients as he understood the phony terror plot would go he began recording hours of telephone conversations with his FBI handler. They tried to frame him up at the trial but when he produced the recordings he was not only allowed to walk but was paid a million dollars by our criminal government to get lost. It all came out in the trial the there was never any corporate media coverage and most Americans were too lazy to dig deeper and get themselves informed. Check it out.
YES, TURN OFF THE DRUG TV NOW AND WATCH THIS MOVIE. DO NOT WATCH THE ZIO-MEDIA PROPAGANDA ANY MORE AT ALL.
DOWNLOAD THIS FREE MOVIE AND AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETELY DIGESTED THIS AND COMPREHEND EXACTLY WHY ALL THIS INSANITY IS HAPPENING WORLD WIDE, PASS IT ON TO TEN OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!

+1 as I'm assuming this is satire.
I don't know about the eight crime families but he's on the right track. Here is the trailer for a new documentary about the Oklahoma City bombing:
http://www.anoblelie.com/
Do yo have any evidence that Homeland Security and the TSA are "protecting us from terrorism". I have seen no evidence that domestic terrorists exist (other than the USA government and related apendages) or for that matter that there is any REAL terrorist threat.
The purpose of the TSA is to CAUSE us to feel fear, insecurity and anger so that we do not question the slavers. You have obviously become a very good and fearful slave.
How to handle the TSA:
Wear loose fitting sweat pants or shorts, with no underwear. Take a viagra before the flight. While in line, look at something on your Iphone that gives you are giant boner. Then try to maintain it through the patdown. If you can approach the patdown with an actual pants-tent, you won. Be sure to moan when fondled. Loudly.
They say Barney was forcible pushed out of the TSA booth as he whined "you didn't look nearly deep enough."
They couldn't pay me enough.
Bwaney Fwank
Heh, word.
We deploy millions of dollars worth of scanners to catch terrorists... And yet we still don't know the identity of the "well-dressed gentleman" who escorted the shoe bomber around the metal detectors... Hmmm.
Geez, given truly nature of 9/11 this is biggest looney theatre da mundo.
Hello, :) wake up gringos, this is beyond absurdistan.
Either that , or it was his anomalous brass balls.
You and your common sense. MDB don't want none of that.
Geez, it's not like he was insider trading or anything.
And I'm sure that a full, impartial, follow-it-where-ever-it-leads investigation into the events of 9/11 would have illuminated this conclusion. You make assumptions that are not based on any research. Unfortunately, much of the evidence was destroyed by the very act, and subsequent traces were "vaporized" at Fresh Kills [Fuck! Got to give them points for humor, black as it is.].
Has critical thinking disappeared? Is my snark too subtle? Or should I end all my postings with "Gold, Bitchez!
See if you can get this through your fucking stupid head: I WILL NOT GIVE UP ANY LIBERTY FOR SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND, YOU GODDAMN SOB?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
PATRIOT Act, TSA, NDAA. It's too late, you've already given up all of your liberty. Best to let that freedom fantasy die off. Accept that you are a slave.
FUCK YOU!...You want to KNEEL...you can do it on YOUR FUCKING KNEES...NOT MINE!!!!!
I drew this for you: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/200/420/BRTky.jpg?13214...
If you're too blind to see that every time you pay taxes you kneel, or every day that goes by that you don't vote with your feet or a bullet you kneel, you're hopeless.
Nobody's given away anything. Many things were stolen. Things which are stolen are still owned by the original owners. The proof may come by cordite. Very distinctive scent. Sweet!
Doesn't matter how they're gone, buddy, but make no mistake: they are fucking gone!
This is an unfortunate truth..
Just waiting for the bugle call myself..
People who've lost property which rightfully belong to them don't accept "they are fucking gone!"
And, yes, it does matter how they're gone.
And, no, I'm not your buddy.

You worry me conrad, never laid a hand on Kim, something strange about that..
Problem is, you're implying there is volition here.
As others have stated, these freedoms have been TAKEN. You don't need to KNEEL - they have lowered the floor from under you. You're at the same height as if you were kneeling even though it still feels like standing.
Kneel before ZOD!

If you are paying taxes, you are participating. If there was a general strike or a tax strike, the ponzi would fail.
@LoneStarHog - I WILL NOT GIVE UP ANY LIBERTY FOR SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Erm... you already have - or rather, it has been taken.
Hence why Rand Paul has been detained.
PATRIOT, NDAA... all the other stuff. Many of your liberties are already long gone.
It's as bad or worse here in the UK.
9/11 was the wildcard that allowed TPTB licence to do whatever they liked. They're still playing that card. When that card is no longer effective, there will be another "terrorist atrocity" to outrage and rally the sheep.
You the 80's came and went with planes being taken over by terrorists, no pat downs then. The 90s came in and no more hostile take overs by terrorists - no pat downs.
you come in shades of ghey
Anyway, wtf was a zillionaire like Rand doing flying public? Couldn't he find a corporation with a jet to whore himself to?
anyone who down voted Trav on this needs to re-Think why.
Fantastic Observation Trav!!
and Thank You for bringing the Facts into view so clearly.
God Bless You and Yours!

Private planes have problems safely reaching destinations when carrying passengers such as Rand Paul.
Amen. Even public flights are not safe for some. Ask Rep. McDonald.

You're exactly right. The shades of grey in this particular case is all the bullshit from the Government puppets via their clowns in the MSM who make people like you either believe this steaming pile or paid well enough to regurgitate it.
Lie down on the couch and tell me where it hurts.
So is it just me or is Million just an overly sarcastic ZHer? Or is he actually being serious?
I'll just call MDB crazy
MDB is satire, but it wastes a LOT of people's energy.
I wish he'd stop.
He bores the hell out of me. I just scroll down thread until I get past the crap he spawns.
it's satire.
-3 for you for understanding satire.
That was satire.
Hope for not being Satyr...e
Just like his name MDB, if he was serious would he be braging about a million dollar bonus. Fucking genius!
its funny shit, more funny are the outraged responces, but MDB is getting more obvoius now seems strange thats there are still folks that dont get it
Go Fuck Yourself. I will not surrender any liberty for your so-called security. You are the fucking disease that has swept this country.
I just wanted to say... that you are Damn Sexxy!! and Please keep up the Message!!
Fucking LOL. Best troll bait I've seen in a while.
Hello Crazy,
I support your desire to fly on a high-security flight, never mind that the plane's wings are cracking and falling off, however, I will take my chances with the rest of my fellow Americans who think the TSA and Homeland Security have gone too far.
I would suggest for those Americans who want the other passengers screened, create a separate commercial airline where the passengers can have a fully body cavity search prior to boarding the flight. I am sure that other passengers would pay a premium for the experience and satisfaction of knowing that everyone has passed anal inspection.
The rest of us ignorant masses can take our chances with the terrorist. Have I mentioned the probabilities of terrorist/hostage take-over?
Win-win
MDB -
You reek of the cologne - 'Hidden Agenda'
we need security.. cause pussies cant defend themselves..
all those polite people that let the camel jockies with box cutters take over thier planes..
becuase they didnt want to get a scratch.
it is called Natural Selection..
the stupid people are dead.. it is just nature or natural for that to happen..
no need to worry about it..
unless you are stupid.
It won't happen again JW.
You saw what would happen in the plane that went down in Shanksville.
TSA or no TSA, jihadist camel jocks will get torn to pieces by the passengers if they EVER try another hijacking... Quote me on it.
