Ron Paul Sends Out Fundraising Email After Son Is Detained By The TSA
-
I would think the TSA fiasco with Senator Rand Paul would be red meat for Ron Paul supporters. It looks like Ron Paul is seeking to make some fundraising gains as a result of his being detained by the TSA. From TDC:
Rep. Ron Paul is using Monday’s high-profile incident of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) detaining his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, at a Tennessee airport to raise money for his presidential campaign.
In an email to supporters, the Texas congressman asks for donations to his campaign so he can work to end the agency.
“Please, give whatever you are able right away to our End the TSA Money Bomb to help us keep the spotlight on this out-of-control organization and restore respect for freedom and common decency to the White House,” Paul said in a an email to supporters. The campaign’s fundraising goal for the fundraising campaign is $250,000.The Kentucky senator says he was detained while going through security at the Nashville airport after getting into a dispute with TSA officials.

As Ron Paul tells it, “After an ‘anomaly’ turned up in his body scan as he was trying to board a flight in Nashville, Rand showed that he was clearly no threat and asked to go through the scanner a second time.”
“Instead of tolerating this common-sense idea, TSA officials demanded he undergo a full body pat-down. Rand stood up for his rights and refused — and was then detained by the TSA and prevented from getting on his flight,” Ron Paul said.
The TSA disputed the characterization that Paul was detained, even though they admit he was escorted out of the security area by local law enforcement.
