Sen. Rand Paul insisted TSA detained him. IIRC, like Stacey Amato, he was ushered into a glass enclosure and the entrance/exit was blocked by TSOs. Like Ms. Amato, any attempt to leave would have resulted in contact with a TSO, ie, assault on a government employee.
TSA insisted he was not detained, however.
