US Senator Rand Paul Detained By TSA
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul’s press secretary Moira Bagley tweeted on Monday that Transportation Security Administration officials were detaining her boss in Nashville, Tenn. “Just got a call from @senrandpaul,” Bagley tweeted at about 10 a.m. on Monday. “He’s currently being detained by TSA in Nashville.” (dailycaller.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I seriously doubt Senator Paul, with his opinion of the TSA, was objecting to a pat down because he feels he is privileged. He was objecting to what we ALL should be objecting to.
After my experience past Sunday in ORD, I have to agree with Michael Husk about the IQ of these TSA agents. Not for the first time my checked-in bag was completely damaged after a TSA opening. And the security checkpoint to pass took me a full hour at terminal 1 in ORD. out of ten checkpoints two were manned all other stations were closed. The bulk item station was manned with five people doing absolutely nothing for more tha 30 minutes. What a joke....
There were no airline attacks between 2001 and 2010 and TSA didn’t need feel up little kids, strip search old ladies, remove diapers from incontinent passengers or irradiate and take nude photos of people then. In ten years TSA has not caught one terrorist.
They didn’t find one item in 2011 because of the scanners or groping. Over 90% of items were found using the x-ray belt and walk through metal detectors. They are only groping people to get them to use the scanners and funnel more money to the scanner manufacturers that former TSA head, Michael Chertoff, now represents.
Over 1.3 million Americans died in defense of the liberties that TSA is trampling. Cowards who defend TSA’s violation of the 4th Amendment in exchange for false security are pitiful and dishonor the sacrifice of those heroes.
This agency and its workers are a national disgrace and should be replaced with a system that actually works. Thankfully Rand Paul and a few other legislators are trying to preserve our liberties and stop the ascent of the American police state.

Thank you.
Americans have become pansies. I call attention to the 1960s and the anarchy associated with that era. We had terroristic attacks in the US (bombing military recruitment offices, etc) yet US citizens dealt with these issues without undo fear -- nor demands of "protect me!"

This will get interesting.
The rules are not standardized, they mean different things to different TSA agents, in different airports and on different days. The backscatter detector is dangerous and should be banned as it is in Europe. But as long as the American sheeple trade their "rights" for a false sense of security, this is going to continue to be our way of life.
