Rand Paul detained by TSA

[Article 15]

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.

So the Paul's propose free market public safety. People can chose airlines that have the most hassle free security system. After all, I am not a terrorist. Why should I have to go through screening?

More reason why we can't elect libertarians to make decisions in this country

"Do you hate those annoying, unnecessary security screenings when you travel? We do too! When was the last time a plane was hijacked, anyway? Fly ______________ Airlines; the only security screening free ride in the sky."

 

[Mad Scientist]

If they stopped anyone, there would be a record of it. Show us how the TSA protects us rightwinger. You can't.

How did Osama bin laden make out in the war on terrorism?

What was Rand and Ron Paul's reaction to killing bin Laden? oh yea.....we overstepped our bounds

The repubs wanted to give him a state funeral.

Actually, they wanted to pardon him. At least that's what it looked like since they couldn't be bothered with hunting him down and catching him. Just one more job President Obama had to do FOR baby Bush.

The TSA didn't kill Bin Laden. The TSA is for the American People. It's prisoner training.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I guess Rand Paul thinks the rules don't apply to him

I don't think that's the point.

This is a perfect example of political correctness run amuck.

How is this political correctness?

lt's not.

 

[Missourian]

Insulting and ignorant to make that comparison.

Yep.

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

Who is "they"?

I say do away with the checkpoints and patdowns for all American citizens.

 

[Article 15]

"White and angry? Fly United. We will only search Muslims."

Rosa Parks just rolled over in her grave

 

[LibertyForAll]

This is the ultimate joke on the American people. They give everyone equal rights and then take away everyones rights so now we are just all equally fucked. The difference between me and some of the people on here is that I don't like it and won't just accept it.

Yep.

Rand Paul is Rosa Parks is fuggin' ludicrous.

It's also funny to note that Rand Paul thinks buses should be able to make black people sit in the back of the bus.

 

[Article 15]

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 4th Amendment doesn't really apply, give me a fucking break. You have to look at the 4th in context --> there was NO MASS TRANSIT at the time. Public transport, etc.

There were no small bombs.

It's extremist thinking to assume that the public shouldn't be safe-guarded where reasonably possible, and if you can't handle a silly little pat-down --> buy a penis pump....never go to the doctor....don't fly.

"Do you have an embarrassingly small dick? Southwest is the airline for you. We are a no pat down airline and all flyers receive a complementary 'Hey, big boy' greeting complete with 'fuck me' eyes from a hot stewardess upon boarding."

They didn't take away any rights here.

This is a service (Flying), it's no mandatory life function. So fuggin extreme, jeebus.

 

[eots]

if does stop here it will trains ,buses,events, random check stops

Reelect Rand Paul

^ read that back to yourself.

Release bottle-neck.

 

[MikeK]

The existing TSA system is textbook example of mindless authoritarian bureaucracy.

I undersand Israeli airport security is implemented on the basis of common sense and individual judgment on the part of its security personnel. They only search passengers whom they feel should be searched. And Israel hasn't had any problems.

Why should he have been killed? I don't see how bin-Laden couldn't have been more valuable alive.

What is your proposal for public safety?
