Sen. Rand Paul Tells His TSA Story: Threatend ‘Full-Body Patdown’ if I Used My Phone

You can get the full details on the Rand Paul TSA incident from our earlier story here. But below is Paul telling his side of the story to WTVF-TV. According to him, once he was pulled aside after setting off a scanner, he was told that if he used his phone he would be given a “full-body patdown:”

WSMV-TV has a slightly different account. It says that Paul was told to leave once he decided to use his phone.

By the way, Rand Paul will be joining the Glenn Beck radio program on Tuesday at 11 am ET.

      Be careful Rand, the TSA is Obama new police force – most of them went from Unemployment to making a good Union Wage with all the Benefits – They praise Obama and will assure his election. I wait for the day that the TSA knocks on my door wanting my Guns or to put me in a camp – I don’t know who is going to win or lose that battle – but they are not getting my guns and I’m not going to any concentration Camp.

      I’ve had 7 patdowns on 7 consecutive weeks.
      They pat me down because I refuse the nude body radiation machines.
      They like to pat down the elderly, grannies in wheelchairs, and Swedish teen girls.
      God forbid they might insult a muslim.

      So, Rand, as soon as you realize there are no TSA rules, the faster you’ll be on your way.
      Or, ask to see the rules in writing, and you‘ll be told they’re “secret”. Yep! I did.

      The Beast/Anti-Christ could never take control as long as the Bill of Rights is alive and well, and there is no doubt that the establishment Republicans are doing their best to tear the BoR to shreds.

      A vote for anyone other than Ron Paul is a vote to destroy the Bill of Rights.

      Tell me how Ron Paul can actually win against Obama and I’ll start pushing everyone I know to get him the nomination. The media (including Fox) will never give Paul a fair hearing based on his ideas. I fear a vote for Paul is akin to a vote for Ross Perot. I pray Paul does not run on a third party ticket. Should he, get ready for 4 more years of Obama. Give Obama 4 more years and the gloves come off and the Progressive machine will go into overdrive.

      While I understand that Nobody but Paul upsets the average GOPer, their feelings are of NO concern to me. They will either nominate Ron Paul or they will suffer four more years of Obama.

      I have zero regard for the RINO media (fox), and RINO candidates and electorate – why would I be concerned about alienating THEM when they are doing their best to alienate ME and RP’s base.
      This country will not recover without major changes, cuts, and free market policies that the RINO’s (newt/mitt) will NOT do. We will be worse in 4 years with either Obama or Mitt/Newt. Although I do think Newt/Mitt would be better than Obama even if ever so slightly. But I would root for Obama because perception is key. Obama represents socialism; Mitt/Newt represents “free markets” (even though they are far from it).

      If Obama stays at least the people will be ready for real change. If Mitt/Newt get in office, the uninformed public will think that we tried “free markets” again and it didn’t work.

      If Obama gets elected, in four years, we will see a true market type candidate like Rand Paul. If Mitt/Newt gets elected I see us swinging back to a socialist style candidate.

      Given their past voting records and major policy positions, they are all basically on the same page.

      There are many like myself who see this as a choice between Mao and Mussolini, if Dr. Paul is not in the picture, and we will never be forced once again into falling for a false choice.

      The RINO’s who are running the party right now are in for a shock this election is Ron Paul is not nominated, and it will not matter if he runs third party…we simply will either vote for a 3rd choice by writing in Ron Paul, or we will sit this one out.

I actually went to the links they posted and found out that I can’t trust any main stream media including FOX.I found that Ron Paul’s ideas do make sense. I believe God is giving us an option to fight back against losing our liberties. Even in the Bible, God used the smallest clans, the smallest armies, and the men who didn’t seem like they could get anything done so the honor would go to God in the end. Of course, we have free-will and we look at the outside of a man, and who talks the best and looks the best, who looks like a president, etc…I believe ANYONE else running besides Paul will just lead us down the same road.

      You haven’t baited me. You ARE bait. And I’m a great BLACK shark. Your juvenile ramblings feigning maturity after making such a humourless ad hominem assault on Rand Paul proves exactly what you are. Dead meat.

      If you think some prepubescent aqua buddha comment is illustrative of “navigating an exchange of ideas”, then you are sorely deluded and just get over yourself.

      V-child, you’re a typical paulbot. Internet tough guy! There are so many of you out here.Bigs words all day long, but unfortunantly you ramble the same paulbot insults. neocon, warmongerer and so on. You really have a high opinion of yourself. One day when you grow up, you‘ll realize what a fool you’ve been as a puppet for the Pauls.

      You mistake my actual demeanor for an “internet tough guy” act. That illustrates that you have absolutely no idea who or what you’re dealing with.

      You’re totally detached from reality.

      I protest the Nazis at their front door, no act here.

      You’re just a poser hiding behind your monitor talking trash.

      Yes, I have heard that we are mobilizing against “certain threats” I say we are about 1 year from war. If we keep our Military industrial complex in tact it will involve a “draft”

      Thanks for the video, confirms what I am hearing.

    Pretty sad when you don’t even have diplomatic immunity in your own country. How about we strip Air Force One from our dear leader and make him fly commercial.

      I agree KickinBack, I’m surprised a sitting Senator is even required to go through security. Even if he had
      something on him like Pot, he was enroute to Washington DC while Congress was in session. That’s the
      excuse Rep. Kennedy used when he was arrested for drunk driving. But, alas Kennedy was arrested late night, and, congress was not in session. Why do I feel it has more to do with him being a Republican then, actual TSA regulations?

      There’s only ONE man who would go after and abolish the TSA.

      That man is RON PAUL.

      Ron Paul is the only candidate who would protect our civil liberties. Can’t wait to see the debate tonight, I’m sure this topic will come up. I‘m sure they’ll ask Newt, Mitt, and Rick about the TSA and then when they get to Ron Paul they’ll ask him about legalizing drugs or Iran or something.

      @DRSAVAGE……you bet! The debate should be very interesting!! I almost can’t wait…and I HOPE they ask Newt and Mitt and Rick about the TSA…would love to hear what they have to say about it. Our freedom and liberty are just about completely gone…wonder if they really have words to cover what the good KY Senator believes and knows to be true.

      @USPATRIOT101

      The president gets to chose who runs the DHS…correct?

      The DHS pretty much makes their own rules up at will…correct?

      It’s not difficult to see how the DHS would be neutered by Ron Paul if this is the case.

      What is very difficult to see is any candidate who openly endorsed the Patriot Act willingness to dismantle the beast they created.

      Their position regarding the NDAA also gives their true intensions away as well.

      The fact of the matter is, the only person with even so much as a shred of evidence that they would alter the course is Ron Paul.

      Gingrich, Santorum, and Romney are all on record praising the likes of the so called Patriot Act, and even if they started to change their position by flip flopping…would you believe them?
