Rand Paul may singlehandledly bring down the TSA this morning, after getting detained in Nashville. Good for him.

Paul apparently set off an airport security full-body scanner “on a glitch,” a spokesman in Paul’s office told ABC News.

The Paul staffer said TSA agents would not let Paul walk back through the body scanner and were demanding a full body pat-down.

The Paul spokesman said his office called TSA administrator John Pistole about the incident this morning.

The fun part, of course, is that this totally plays into his civil-liberties playbook.
