On the list of stupid things the Transportation Security Administration could do for their public image: detaining Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, the politician most anxious to abolish them, is probably right near the top. But that's exactly what just happened, his Communications Director, Moira Bagley has confirmed it in a tweet. There is currently no information on why the Senator was detained, or why he is considered a threat to fly. Kelly O'Donnell is reporting that aides say Paul was detained when he refused a full-body pat-down, after the scanner went off. Paul lifted his pant-leg to show he had no metal, and asked to be re-screened. He was denied this request. I think we can safely say that the liberty-loving Senator is likely to be a threat to the TSA from now on.

I think most likely it is Rand think he is above the law and do not need to follow the rules that pertains to us small people.
Given that PIPA was shelved several days ago, it won't. And I don't think TSA detentions last multiple days.
it is obama and the TSA who think they are above the law and dont need to follow the rules (ie: constitution). rand paul is trying to stick up for "us small people".
Meanwhile the "triple crown weave queen Sheilla Jackson Lee" does not have to go through airport security. Call me paranoid but I think Barry is enjoying this, by humiliate Americans under the guise of keeping us safe!
Not just age... it is make up and photoshopping. Met her in 1999 in Prague and she looked very different in person. She is light skinned, so make up makes a pronounced difference... it isnt just women either, men are the same way.
We really shouldn't go through this again... been debated hundreds of times before. All I will say is if the rules are that everyone needs to pass inspection, then Rand Paul should not be an exception. I know your opinion and respect it...
If he doesn't like the law, he can work to change it, but when all of us have to follow the law, he should not be above it.
Doesn't the Constitution say something about members of Congress being free from arrest? Of course, this being a "detention," I'd reckon they could hold him as long as they'd like.
