Here is what normally happens when government is proven to be inefficient at a certain task. Once the public starts to see the inefficiencies, the government responds by over correcting their bad behavior ten fold. Today’s detainment of Michael Yon was a perfect example. Here is the story I posted at NetRightNation.com:
This seems to have happened about an hour ago. Apparently, Michael Yon was arrested at the Seattle Airport after refusing to tell airport security how much money he earns! This seems like a resonable reason to detain someone…
On Michael Yon’s Facebook Fan Page, the following updates were posted:
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 eve…ntually came — they were professionals — and rescued me from the border bullies. (About an hour ago)
And then this update shortly after:
When they handcuffed me, I said that no country has ever treated me so badly. Not China. Not Vietnam. Not Afghanistan. Definitely not Singapore or India or Nepal or Germany, not Brunei, not Indonesia, or Malaysia, or Kuwait or Qatar or United Arab Emirates. No county has treated me with the disrespect can that can be expected from our border bullies. (About an hour ago)
So apparently when one refuses to answer questions about their salary, they have placed the nation’s security in jeopardy. This seems to be a gross overreaction from security. Yon is clearly not a security threat.
