Sounds to me like he thinks the TSA is an impotent organization that does a better job of making every flying American feel like a criminal than it does at preventing people from taking dangerous items onto a plane.

A very timely example, a friend of flew the other day and realized he had a pocket knife on him. Went through the X-Ray with the rest of his stuff, he goes through the strip-scanner. He was an hour into his flight when he though "oh crap. Did I forget to take that out?" And there was his knife.

Yeah... continue to be complacent and accept being required to check your civil liberties at the door.

Rand Paul has been a consistent critic of the TSA and actually had the pull to not be bullied into submitting to a strip-search or being put into a holding cell.
