“Just got a call from @senrandpaul,” Bagley - Kentucky Republican Rand Paul’s press secretary, tweeted at about 10 a.m. on Monday. “He’s currently being detained by TSA in Nashville.”
Sen. Rand Paul went through the scanner at the airport but was told there was some "anomaly" with the scan and would have to get a full-body pat down, Paul's chief of staff Doug Stafford said.
According to the Associated Press, Rand Paul said he was "detained" in a small cubicle in the airport, which is about an hour from his Bowling Green, Kentucky home, and missed his flight to Washington for a Senate session.
