VIDEO - Rand Paul Discusses His TSA Detention

Paul mentions something interesting that we were not aware of previously.  It turns out that the screening machine makes random, false alerts as a matter of protocol, and that is what apparently happened to him today.  He explains it in the first 2 minutes of the clip.

I find it interesting as I watched the first video prior to the second video that,,, At least the talk between Wolf Blitzer and Senator Rand Paul was comprehensive and accurate in the way Sen. Paul spoke of the incident. Then when you watch the other bit of news, it spoke of in such a way that it is mocked. As if Rand Paul made more of it than it was. He didn't..... LOL!

I cannot help but think that a bit of divine intervention occurred there....... Nobody like this crap. If you do? Good luck with that. I don't... That is being "DETAINED" in accurate definition. And yes, WE ARE IN FACT IN A POLICE STATE.

It is surprising to me how many people I speak with do not know we are. I'm a bit surprised that the likes of Adam Kokesh thinks so little of it.. Or rather views it as "What else did you think we were in" type attitude. None the less I see it as a huge F-UP on the TSA's position.

If there were bets on what people wanted to be gone right now?????? I would bet my life on the TSA being gone with the wind.

To borrow from the great Charlie Pierce, if it were the Tennessee TSA doing the screening (you know, if the states decided to grab your crotch), would Paul have no problem with submitting to being groped? One can predict the answer, but it's worth asking vis a vis analogous civil liberty issues.

More importantly, the start of this clip,

"...everyone knows the President is NOT an avowed Muslim, we should point out..."

is some seriously high grade unintentional comedy. That's right out of an Onion video, or a Simpsons episode or something. And Wolf delivered it with a perfectly straight face. The great ones make it look so easy.

Lastly, I really believe that's a toupee atop of Rand's bean. I call for a thorough investigation forthwith. America needs to know the truth.

I would think that everyone that flew would be more than happy to vote for Ron Paul........OK, Hollywood Folk do like the Grooping Slezey Touching, dont they...?

The billygoat said;"they're doing their job".
Groping is a job, huh.

"...everyone knows the President is NOT an avowed Muslim, we should point out..."

Despite low graduation rates, high debt, and low quality education, these policies have largely remained in tact.
