I'm going to ask you again to provide PROOF that Rand or Ron started this as a disinformation campaign (as you claim)
Are you going to provide PROOF?

In my opinion, none of us should have to submit to our choice of full body radiation or demeaning and invasive body searches. We already have metal detectors and such. It was bad enough when we had to take off our belts and shoes and practically undress in front of everyone.
I once went through a metal detector after a dance competition and the bobby pins in my hair set it off.

"He" posted?
Or the Facebook page posted?
Please clarify.
What does this even mean??? Facebook is not alive...it can't post by itself.
These statements are on their official pages...what aren't you getting about this???

You refuse facts and reality...hard to provide proof to someone who does that.
Ron Paul's tweet on his official twitter account:
My son @SenRandPaul being detained by TSA for refusing full body pat-down after anomaly in body scanner in Nashville. More details coming.
Rand Paul's post on his official facebook account:
Senator Paul is being detained at the Nashville Airport by the TSA. We will update you as the situation develops.
Rand Paul's spokesperson twitter post.
Just got a call from @senrandpaul. He's currently being detained by TSA in Nashville
Detained...Detained...Detained....so where exactly do you think the concept that he got detained came from???

I think it shows arrogance that the Paul's think they are above the law and shouldn't have to participate in the same regulations every other American has to.
You keep saying words like 'official', yet the "OFFICIAL" government Twitter accounts say nothing.
So again, you have not yet provided any PROOF that Ron or Rand Paul THEMSELVES started the line that Rand was detained.
I will keep asking for proof as long as you talk on this thread, since you have not provided such.
You're really NOT getting it are ya?
You have NO clue about Social Media sites.
Trust me, I've run Marketing campaigns on these formats.
You're not 'getting my drift" so I'm gonna drag this out until you think outside your sad little box.
Keep going, I can do this all day.
So Rand Paul has no control over his staff and they post things that he doesn't agree with.
Great...so Rand Paul is just as incompetent as his father in overseeing things written in his name.
Or...they are just a couple of drama queens that like to be sensational about having to follow the same regulations as every other American.
Check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous. Oh, and my opinions here? They're my own. Comms director for Rand Paul, y'all.

And I really don't know what to think at this point. Is refusing to allow him to beard an airplane the same as "detaining" him? I don't know.
