If they stopped anyone, there would be a record of it. Show us how the TSA protects us rightwinger. You can't.Getting pat down like a prisoner is "freedom"?
Tell us rightwinger, how many terrorist acts have been stopped by the TSA patting passengers down?
How many terrorist acts have been stopped by TSA in the last ten years?
All of them.....they should be very proud of their record. Their procedures are working
Rand says he asked to go through the scanner a second time and they refused, and when he refused the pat down he was detained at a "small cubicle." Why not just let him go through a second time?

Yep.Would you have said the same to Rosa Parks?
Insulting and ignorant to make that comparison.
Rosa Parks was protesting unequal treatment based on the color of her skin.
TSA treats everyone the same. The comparison is beyond stupid.
Unless they're trying to argue that Rand Paul should get a pass based on the color of his skin....well actually, it does sound like some of them are trying to argue just that.

If anything...what they are proposing undos everything Rosa Parks stood for
They want to replace "everyone is treated the same" when going through a checkpoint with racial profiling which will concentrate on people of Arab descent

It's not about security, it's a show of power.
It's not about power. It's a show of security.
Then why do they make everyone go through the scanner and/or be pat down over and over and over again? That's nothing short of ridiculous. The TSA should clear those who are not a terrorist threat (the majority of people) and give them an EZ pass to show instead.
Only because you disagree with Rand, but they both practiced civil disobedience so the comparison is valid.
Just for reference..
What are Rand Paul's proposed alternatives to TSA?
I don't know what Rand's proposed alternatives are, actually. His father's ideas would be to let the airlines provide their own security, and I would imagine Rand would agree with that but I can't be sure.

Becuase knowing him and his close to anarchist background, he was likely being difficult.
I guess you think the 4th Amendment doesn't apply to Rand Paul?I guess Rand Paul thinks the rules don't apply to him
Yep.

thats exactly it.
Thye prefer groups being given less rights than others...not protecting the rights of all.
I dont like the law personally....so I fly as little as I can...I dont like the lines; the being trewted like cattle; heck, in a way I feel like they are looking to find something...as opposed to expecting NOT to find something......their attitude about it sux to me....but that is besides the point.
But I dont see it as a loss of libertry at all.
Why?
Because as of today, there is not an individual mandate saying "one MUST fly"
Maybe some of us believe that everyone should be judged equally but still believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty and should be guaranteed protection under the 4th amendment.
Tell me again how we gain freedom by giving it away?

The rules shouldn't apply to anyone.
Perhaps....but regardless, the rules apply to everyone...and until the rules are changed they should continue to apply to everyone.
I wonder how Mr. Paul would have felt if a man in muslim garb rang off the detector bell and the man refused a patdown and the TSA let him through anyway.....
