Breaking: Michael Yon arrested at Seattle airport JANUARY 5, 2010 BY ED MORRISSEY Thank goodness our Homeland Security people are on the job after the EunuchBomber botched attack on Christmas Day. We certainly donât want to have independent war correspondents passing through our airports without revealing their annual income: Jazz Shaw wonders what the hell is going on: Unless there is more to this story, an apology would be the least owed to Yon. When an American citizen with a valid passport presents himself for travel, there should be some reasonable screening to verify identity and to determine whether there is a physical risk, ie, weapons and the like. Why should border security be interested in Yonâs annual income? How does that relate to national security and border protection? Unless this is an arm of the Internal Revenue Service, it doesnât, and Yon was right to refuse to answer the question. Instead of hassling American citizens about their income or watching the ice melt, how about paying attention to actual security and intelligence issues? Please?
Perhaps you should apply for a job with the TSA. It would probably pay you more than sitting around on Elitetrader all day long and posting stuff that has nothing to do with trading the markets.
