As a traveler I am no fan of the TSA however had Rand Paul followed the normal procedures and done what all the rest of us do then this would all have taken just a few minutes and would have been no big deal.

Your perspective on this is what is turning our country into a totalitarian fascist state.
Oh yes, it is tempting to say, “Let them follow the same rules the rest of us peons have to!”
Except that Rand Paul has publicly stood up for our point of view on the TSA, and, one of the primary complaints here about the TSA is the total lack of common sense in determining who may be a ‘threat’ to other travelers.
So, I guess U.S. Senators are just as much of a threat as Abu Noballs, and should be screened and groped thoroughly, just like little girls, nuns, grandmothers and pilots.
Don’t have to fly for business anymore, so I don’t fly at all.
People that exaggerate to try and make a point out of desperation usually have no point.
You’re absolutely right, Chickensoup. A nation of quivering cowards and submitters to any renta-cop with a bubble-gum machine badge, all because they’re too afraid to leave their house, has lead to this.
Those types will willingly walk through the cancer scans with their arms raised in the position of surrender. And would board the train to a Siberian death camp because they believed it was “for their own good.”
It’s just too bad they take the rest of us down with them.
