Breaking: Michael Yon arrested at Seattle airport
Hot AirPundit ^ | January 05, 2010 | Ed MORRISSEY

Thank goodness our Homeland Security people are on the job after the EunuchBomber botched attack on Christmas Day. We certainly don’t want to have independent war correspondents passing through our airports without revealing their annual income:

Got arrested at the Seattle airport for refusing to say how much money I make. (The uniformed ones say I was not “arrested”, but they definitely handcuffed me.) Their videos and audios should show that I was polite, but simply refused questions that had nothing to do with national security. Port authority police eventually came — they were professionals — and rescued me from the border bullies.

**for refusing to say how much money I make.**

I was right.. last week, I claimed there is probably no reason for me to FLY in current circumstances... IF I CAN”T DRIVE or go by BOAT... I”M NOT GOING.. period.

Simply unbelievable...I wonder when they will just start shooting people for refusing to answer their questions.

Anybody doubt we have Marxist’s running this country?

unclear from what I have read exactly what entity/agency was asking the question - TSA, DHS via customs/immigr., or who?

Not sure if DHS has any authority to ask this. If TSA did it (which I suspect, mainly because customs/immigr. are generally vastly more professional), I am not surprised.

Then they're more stupid than they look in their snappy new uniforms. Yon is going to be writing about this and going on every talk show that will have him for the next couple of months now. Where does he appear first? My money's on Glen Beck's show.

You guys might want to do a little more homework before you jump to his defense, even though he is ex-mil...

“In June 2009, he remarked: ‘I get the feeling that Obama is tougher and proving wiser than many people seem to think’”

I wonder what he thinks of this administration after this little incident...
