TSA detains Senator for refusing pat-down
 
#11
It's helpful to consider the idea behind Article 1, Section 6, and that is to prevent the government from say barricading all roads into DC and turning people around while several troublesome congress critters are out of the city and then arranging some important votes. That sort of thing happens in less established democracies, as well as in good old England during the bad old days (hence the rule).

Also it is a concern that the machine didn't go of the second time, as I understand it the senator has a medical implant made of metal that should set these detectors of, so this essentially means the machine he went through the second time wasn't working. The fact that some are ridiculing him for calling for an investigation into this is worrisome.

Quote:Personally, I think they should just do away with the patdowns altogether. They don't do anything.

Agreed. Personally the suggestion from the Paul's to get rid of the TSA is almost enough to make me vote for them if I could. I strongly disagree with their economic policies, but civil liberties are more important anyway. (and even there I don't fully agree with them)
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
