A rarity: a Paul is actually right about what the Constitution says

Rand Paul may be as extrene as his dad, and his behavior in refusing to submit to a pat-down  by the TSA after a full-body scanner failed while he was boarding a plane in Nashville may have been childish and irresponsible, but he's right: the Constitution guarantees members of Congress immunity from arrest while traveling to and from sessions.

Of course, the TSA denies that he was actually ever detained, which means that the question is academic. But still, it's good to see a member of the Paul family basing a constitutional argument on what the document actually says, rather than extrapolating some absurdity on the basis of what it doesn't say.
