I think I have a new crush and his name is Rand Paul. And he is not afraid of the motherf***in' TSA. We could grind them to a halt if we all followed Sen. Paul's example. Say no. Do not submit. I know it seems a little scary, but isn't it scarier (more scary?) that our civil rights are being so brazenly disregarded by our government? The fear we feel over demanding our rights be respected is real because our government has become almost tyrannical -- and in the limited instance of the TSA, I feel completely comfortable characterizing their behavior as tyranny. See below -- that first definition there.
What is the TSA's behavior if not arbitrary and/or unrestrained? How can the molestation and humiliation of kindergarteners and nonagenarians be anything but arbitrary and devoid of restraint?
tyr·an·ny
noun, plural -nies.
1.
arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuseof authority.
2.
the government or rule of a tyrant or absolute ruler.
3.
a state ruled by a tyrant or absolute ruler.
4.
oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of anyruler.
5.

And think about this -- Rand Paul asked to go thru the scanner again after they examined his leg but TSA refused. Guess they just wanted to grope him. The gal with the gun must not have been too attractive.
