This is one of the first things I've heard Rand Paul say straight forward without going around the bush and I like what he said.
Forget the Fed, for now – Sen. Rand Paul wants to shut down the TSA.The Kentucky Republican is drafting legislation to end the Transportation Safety Administration and to establish a passenger bill of rights, according to a spokesman from his office. When those bills hit, they'll likely be accompanied by a deluge of signatures from a petition campaign launched by the Campaign for Liberty, the grassroots and lobbying organization once chaired by the senator's father, Ron Paul. Paul stepped down from his honorary chairmanship to mount his presidential campaign.
Paul the elder, the Texas congressman and gadfly presidential candidate, is famous for his campaign to end the Federal Reserve along with five government departments – Education, Energy, Interior, Housing and Urban Development, and Commerce – and has long called for abolishing the TSA, too. (For a "big dog" take on Ron Paul's proposed cuts, see this ad.)
RECOMMENDED: TSA screenings: What protections do you have?
Paul the younger's petition to end the TSA cites several mortal sins for the agency:
