US Senator ‘detained’ by TSA at Nashville airport

Share:

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul’s press secretary Moira Bagley tweeted on Monday that Transportation Security Administration officials were detaining her boss in Nashville, Tenn.

“Just got a call from @senrandpaul,” Bagley tweeted at about 10 a.m. on Monday. “He’s currently being detained by TSA in Nashville.”

Texas Congressman and current Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul – Sen. Rand Paul’s father – placed a post on Facebook about the news as well. “My son Rand is currently being detained by the TSA at the Nashville Airport,” Ron Paul posted. “I’ll share more details as the situation unfolds.”

Ron Paul adds, via Twitter, that the TSA detained his son “for refusing full body pat-down after anomaly in body scanner.”

Sen. Rand Paul’s Facebook page has a post about the incident too. “Senator Paul is being detained at the Nashville Airport by the TSA,” Sen. Rand Paul’s Facebook post reads. “We will update you as the situation develops.”

Sen. Rand Paul’s chief of staff Doug Stafford told The Daily Caller the Senator “was detained by the TSA after their scanner had an ‘anomaly’ on the first scan.”

“He offered to go through again,” Stafford said in an email. “The TSA said he could only have a full body pat down. He would not consent to it. He offered to go through the scanner again. The situation is ongoing.”

    Ron Paul is one of the people against the Illuminati, International bankers and the Amero (federal reserve bankers). Not saying his son was detained because of it but just wanted to remind people to look into these thinks….. Tons of Videos on youtube just watch a few please.

    Hahahhahahahahhaahhahahaaaahahah ….. ‘Home-Land Security’ strikes again.
    And this guy definitely looks suspicious … making a secret signal with two fingers. (I usually use one. 😉
    Getting felt up could be a pleasure for some of us – if they could at least smile or carry on a normal conversation in certain airports. But thanks to the paranoid reactions of officious idiots, this is not longer allowed.
     Don’t smile, either. No-one would believe a normal person could be enjoying the trip through a ‘modern’ airport.
