Sen. Rand Paul Stopped at the Airport, So We Live in a 'Police State'

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, son of GOP candidate Rep. Ron Paul, set off an alarm at the airport and was asked to go through a more detailed screening process before he would be allowed to head to his gate. He was inconvenienced and missed his flight. On its face, this is a run-of-the-mill incident that likely (and frustratingly) happens tons of times every day at airports across the country.

However, Rand Paul has a long-standing problem with the TSA and how it handles security procedure.
