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

Posted on 01/05/2010 10:39:04 AM PST by RobinMasters

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.

I think I'm gonna start a thread (gotta get my thread count up)... I think I'll call it: Crim's Wife - PLEASE READ!

Body of text:

You CAN get to Europe without flying! They have these things called SHIPS! that go from America to Europe & back again.

Tell your hubby, he doesn't know that.

Glad I could be of service. };-/

For those not familiar with Michael, Wiki has an article. I don't know his political leanings, in a party context, nor do I know that he's a Christian. But I suspect he's a gunowner, and worse yet, a veteran, so he meets the early guidelines released by Janet at Homeland Security. Janet at Homeland Security, sounds like a telemarketer for alarm systems, not a cabinet member.

Good evening.

If this is true (and I don't doubt the source), then there were a series of small mistakes made by both sides. The alphabet agencies and Mr. Yon. Hopefully, all sides stand down.

If the previous paragraph isn't true regarding the various agencies, then we have a problem.

In history, small insignificant things, a seemingly innocuous string of events, cause a tipping point. Unfortunately, history also shows us that the unintended consequences can be catastrophic.

One look at him and I can tell he spent a lot of time in the middle east.

NOW I see why they hassled him...

Yes; and it is all soooo rational. We need to remind TSA - and while at it; remind CAIR as well - that a viral group of people have declared war on America and the 'Western world' - and they do not call it 'war'; they call it JIHAD and so profiling must mean something. Not an English word, JIHAD; nor French, or German or Spanish for that matter. . .

Don't care what Michael Yon's politcal leanings; am glad he refused. . .

as a follow-up

on Yon’s blog is story about a female friend who was visiting him from Thailand who was detained and poorly treated by TSA/Customs.

I suspect he had a bit of an attitude when he encountered the offical at the airport.
