Military Blogger Michael Yon Handcuffed at Airport, Demands Feds Release Tapes of His Arrest
Michael Yon has been updating his Facebook page about this incident, that's sparking discussions among bloggers and news sites, as to whether he was in the right or the wrong:
Yesterday at 8:50 AM:
“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.
Yesterday at 9:03 AM:
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.
And in his latest Facebook entry about 7 minutes ago, Michael writes:
People are asking if I plan to file a lawsuit against the Federal Government. The answer has been "no" up until recently, when what appears to be a DHS employee made false statements about me on Blackfive. Now it's getting serious. The Feds should release their tapes of my arrest.
