Rand Paul to TSA Head: “I Feel Less Safe”

Rand Paul to John Pistole: You're Clueless

John Pistole, head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), thinks flying is a privilege, and therefore, apparently, those of us “privileged” to be doing it ought to be subjected to whatever humiliations his agents can dish out.

Sen. Rand Paul, during his questioning of Pistole in Senate hearings this week, quoted the Supreme Court’s contrary view:

The right to travel is so important that it is assertable against private interference as well as governmental action. A virtually unconditional personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us all.

Sen. Paul continued in saying:

I feel less safe because you’re doing these invasive exams on a six year old. It makes me think you’re clueless, that you think she’s going to attack our country and that you’re not doing your research on the people who would attack our country.

Here are the proceedings:

Senator Paul was clearly raised right—parents, follow that lead!

  1. Uhhh, but does reality have to do with the TSA, that is, until they are (again) to shown to be ineffective. But Americans are becoming accustomed to these searches both in airports and outside of airports (see http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/police-state-update-tsa-pats-down-passengers-after-getting-off-train_02252011 and do a google search).

    The Statist's mantra's of 'Security' to justify searches and 'if it saves the life of but one child' to justify the erosion of the 2nd Amendment and other lies seems to be working.

    Now, in conjunction with the TSA, news of the Rural Councils (see Executive Order 13575: Establishment of the White House Rural Council). Color me alarmist ....
