#1 Well in Continental's favor, after Joan's latest series of facelifts she now looks like this"

Manolo Blahniks are to die for.

Meanwhile, InstaPundit has an item that Michael Yon was handcuffed at the Seattle airport. Must be that Afghanistan stamp on the passport.

Go Bureaucracy! The only growth industry left in America.

#2 According to Yon's tweet, it was because he refused to tell TSA how much he makes. Says he was handcuffed for this obvious display of terrorism. Personally, I think airport security has been farmed out by TSA to the IRS since so many are going Galt.

#3 They asked Mr. Yon how much he makes? But surely he hasn't started working on his tax returns yet, so how could he possibly know?

As for the Afghan passport stamp, I don't doubt the repeated entry stamps for Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, etc. raised eyebrows. Mr. Wife used to get questions when he was working in the Middle East, so he always kept his corporate ID handy. Especially after the glue attaching the fourth extension to his passport loosened, and he had to tape it in with unofficial tape. He got a new passport shortly thereafter, four years ahead of schedule. This was back in the 80s, when things were not as tense as they are now -- now we get to have the delightful choice between inattentive security and hair-trigger overreaction. Personally, I'd rather they overreact than otherwise.

#4 The BOZO was supposed to ask how much money he was bringing in, not how much he makes. How much you are bringing in is a standard customs question. Who ever let him be hancuffed for refusing to divulge income needs to join the ranks of the unemployed.

#6 I am at the point where it seems to be TSA checker you either have to be leftist or mental.
Michael Yon? Really? Joan Rivers? Really?

What about Mohammad?
