Sen. Rand Paul’s office says he was held by the Transportation Security Administration on Monday, although TSA officials deny characterization he was “detained” at Nashville Airport after an incident at the security gate.

Paul’s father, presidential candidate Ron Paul, tweeted early Monday, “My son @SenRandPaul being detained by TSA for refusing full body pat-down after anomaly in body scanner in Nashville. More details coming.”

If this doesn’t qualify as detainment, I’m REALLY curious to hear what would. I hope this ends very badly for the TSA.

“…was stopped for an anomaly around his leg. The senator lifted his pants leg to show nothing was there and offered to go back through the machine, but the TSA official said no, only a full-body pat down would suffice.”

They just wanted to touch his junk.
