TSA Critic Detained by TSA

Sen. Rand Paul, a fierce critic of the TSA, was apparently detained by the agency at the Nashville airport.

Paul apparently refused a full-body pat-down.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was detained Monday by the Transportation Security Administration in Nashville, Tenn., after refusing a full body pat-down, POLITICO has confirmed.
“I spoke with him five minutes ago and he was being detained indefinitely,” Paul spokesperson Moira Bagley said. “The image scan went off; he refused patdown.”

If Republicans were smart they would campaign against the TSA, which has done far more to inconvenience innocent travelers than make them safer.
