As orofthepress noted:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

And, the government has no right to restrict our freedom of movement. So TSA not permitting Paul's movement unless he consents to an unconstitutional warrantless search of his person is both a violation of his individual rights and the right to travel unmolested to a session of congress.

If standing up for his rights, and by extension the rights of the rest of us, makes Paul a dick in your eyes, maybe you should have your eyes checked.

The union agenda runs counter to the values I hold and what I believe are the best interests of my country. The tactics they employ in support of their agenda are coercive and illegitimate. Therefore, I avoid purchasing union-made products and vote against the interests of public-employee unions at every opportunity lest I help fund union activities. It's time to strangle the union beast.
