Rand was detained in Nashville, prevented from making his flight, and missed his commitment to speak at the March for Life in Washington, D.C., all because he refused to be the latest victim of the TSA’s disgusting full body pat-downs. After an “anomaly” turned up in his body scan as he was trying to board a flight, Rand showed that he was clearly no threat and asked to go through the scanner a second time. TSA officials demanded he undergo a full body pat-down. Rand stood up for his rights and refused – and was then detained by the TSA and prevented from getting on his flight. He got on another flight two hours later and went through the scanner with no problem.
TSA ****ed with the wrong man, and Ron Paul created an “End the TSA” moneybomb last night that’s already raised $50,000. As soon as word got out that Rand was being detained, grassroots Americans responded in outrage over this latest abuse of power by the TSA. Rand was able to speak up for liberty thanks to the platform he has as a U.S. Senator, but just imagine those who receive this kind of treatment every day in our nation’s airports and can’t fight back? The elderly. The disabled. Little kids. All victims of an out-of-control police state that is working overtime to strip away our freedoms, our rights, and our basic dignity.
