Rand Paul of Kentucky on Monday found himself in a showdown with the Transportation Security Administration in Nashville, Tennessee after refusing to undergo a full-body pat down.

Many of you (and I include myself) have remained cautiously dubious about the White House Insider series posted by “Ulsterman.” And yet much of what the “Insider” — be he real or a composite or just the prescient and convincing invention of a gifted fabulist — has predicted has come to pass, albeit in sometimes quite oblique ways (leaving one to wonder if what we’re dealing with is nothing more
