Michael Yon: 'No Country Has Ever Treated Me So Badly'

Michael Yon was handcuffed at Seattle-Tacoma airport today for refusing to report in his annual income to border control officers. From Yon's Twitter:

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.

It's TSA folks who requested the income verification. But it was the Canadian Border Patrol who handcuffed him. Of course, just yesterday Yon hammered the Obama administration's DHS, "Border Bullies," so there's no doubt about Yon's "no country" comment. (And TSA's stopping Yon for income verification but giving the pass to British-radicalized Nigerian terrorists - now that's a problem.)

There's an interview at Big Government, "EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Military Blogger Michael Yon Detained, Handcuffed by TSA in Seattle Airport." (Via Memeorandum.)

But see Andrew Breitbart's interview with Hannity earlier tonight, "
From Gateway Pundit." Especially good is Breitbart's discussion of Michael Yon:

Do you see a problem with Canadian officers - foreigners - controlling powerful positions by which they bully American citizens demanding information contrary Constitutionally - and behaving in an unlawful manner to handcuff an American citizen for refusing to state his annual income??

Can you hear me now??

"Show me you papers!"

The USA is becoming more dangerous than any communist country.

The police state is rising. Do you find it all alarming that it is reported that these were foreigners in control of American citizens??

Bringing in foreigners is one way that a communist/fascist government will have persons to militarily oppress the liberty of American citizens - and "our Government" is bringing in foreigners more and more and more. Why?? It's obvious. The foreigners have no identification with us as Americans and have no loyalty to our liberty or in preserving the TRUE American exceptionalism that comes FROM the people THROUGH the LIBERTY our people established as THEIR form of government.

The gremlin shows it's foreign razor sharp teeth, fangs, and claws.

Can you hear the gremlin now??

There will come a complete collapse of confidence in the Obama administration's ability to govern
and protect the citizens of America.
2010 will not be a good year.

All I can say is the people of this country had best pull their heads out of their asses and start paying attention, and damn fast, because we are far closer to losing this country than most people think.

I hope Mr. Yon sues the everlasting shit out of them for this - while he still can.

And WTF are Canadian Border Patrol goobers doing operating inside the United States of America with apparent impunity?

Outrageous, this is.
