OH!!!! Finally someone with standing! The TSA just might have picked on the wrong person.

They might be able to say that having a ticket is a wavier to search, but sounds like federal agents detained and questioned a U.S. Senator on the way to work. Regardless of the search issue, the questions were unconstitutional:

“They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”

Wow!

I bet you the TSA thugs are trying to get out of this mess. Detaining a Senator on the way to Washington... this is a mess for them.

The stupid kabuki theater of the TSA - which has stopped not one terrorist ever - should finally come crashing down. That they can get away with molesting children and old people and disabled veterans - and no one has done anything about it is a disgrace.
