Senator Rand Paul Detained By the TSA

Posted by samzenpus on Monday January 23, 2012 @05:19AM from the your-dad's-not-president-yet dept.

cervesaebraciator writes "Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has been detained by the TSA in Tennessee for refusing a pat-down. Apparently an anomaly appeared when he received the full body scan. While he offered to undergo the body scan once more, he was informed that only a pat-down would be sufficient to clear him. He has since been detained and the story is developing."

Add that to the list of reasons I consider this document too inadequate to pass muster as a legitimate foundation for government, that and it was ratified by people who are all dead. How can it possibly have any legitimate force? Ridiculous.

How do you know he wasn't breaking any laws? The fact that he would rather leave and rebook his flight than take a pat down is a bit weird.
