The only 'terrorists' (so sick of that word) I worry about wear blue shirts and fake badges.

So yeah, kudos to Paul for putting this out there.

The TSA treats every passenger as guilty until proven innocent. This is a good 1st step to reversing the ridiculous slide down the slippery slope that our "security" has become.

Like most people who would do great as President, Paul is too smart to want the job.

This whole TSA deal is compromised anyway so long as Muslim women get a free pass on security.

My point? .. you aren't at all protected as long as there be those who are exempt ..

As an added note .. The rules would change overnight if members of Congress were made to go through this every time they took a commercial flight

Paul has run for president twice. He'll never get the republican nod and if he ran as a libertarian would likely get scapegoated and run out of town for throwing the election. Though i would like to see him run as a libertarian against someone as stupid as palin. He'd have a legitimate shot at winning.

The TSA has seen the enemy, and the enemy is us.

Most people are either complete idiots or smart enough to dislike Ron Paul because he would mean the end to their gravy train lifestyle.
