Not possible! He served in the Special Forces in the early-1980s, one of the youngest soldiers to pass the Green Beret selection process,
It has to be true cuz he wrote it in a book and I read it on wiki!

I guess Yon "forgot" to write about that on his website....
A few years ago I invited him to drop by here and now I know why he doesn't...
Bully.

I am confused......but this is not new 
From reading the post and comments i was at first thinking TSA rousted him as he was trying to board a flight at the security checkpoint. After reading and doing some searching it is clearer I think.
1st point TSA Does not have hand cuffs. Their job is nothing other than security checkers/scanners. They have no LEO Enforcement authority. That is why LEO's are there to do the real work if there is a problem.
2nd point Yon was entering the country when he had his supposed detainment. That means that CBP (FED LEO) detained him. CBP is allowed to ask almost any question's to ALL persons entering the US to determine the validity of a persons paperwork and also to gauge your reaction when you respond. All he had to do is say I make enough to be comfortable or I do not make nearly as much as I should. SMILE and be pleasant. He was sent to secondary for a legal reason and CBP is not going to fight this in the BLOG forums......
3rd.... He is a tool so I hope they got his attention......
Boarding planes you deal 1st with the counter then TSA at the checkpoint then the Airlines and TSA upon boarding as needed....
Entering the country you deal with CBP at the immigration entry point then CBP at the baggage pickup /inspection point (Old name Customs area) then TSA if you recheck your bags for connections. You are never going to see an ICE Agent unless they start an investigation. All these blogs on this tool are spun way out of control...... tin Foil heads give me a head ache.... 
These comments are from a frequent traveler and if you pay attention you can see all the things I have commented on...... TSA are just rental cops and nothing more and it is funny when you challenge them they try to be a bully until you trump them with your creds......

"be a bully"? Sounds like a typical low level government employee.

A spokesman from U.S. Customs and Border Protection says there are two sides to every story.

Yeah I have to now remember to carry them now that I am back in the US.
When they said hire the weak, lame and handicapped they go what they asked for. Hell Now they want to become a union.......
The other day in Atlanta I could not even understand the TSA Female that said something to me. Had to ask for an interperator.... That guy just waved me on and gave me a dirty look. THANK God they did not think our creds rated to be in their manual posted on the web.....

Teddy, I did go pink but not really screwing around. I googled him and found the statement that he was an 18 (and the youngest ever). BS meter flickering. . .
Yon claims to be a QP. Anyone remember him? or do we have a poser?

In Yon's defense, he's real. I knew a guy who served with him, but his time in SF was short lived, it seems felony charges for manslaughter will do that. Dispite the aquittle, his career was over. Writing a book about the incident was propably the best thing he could have done. It put him on a path of 'opinion journalism'. Now is he right in everything he does? No. And I agree with others regarding his practices and proceedures. He has access to some leaders and the respect of well placed Generals, Senators, civic leaders and Congressmen.
He, like the rest of us, makes mistakes and some bigger then others. When you live publicly, like he does, you can expect some things to be made known. I however am guessing this was thought out and planned. Even bad attention is attention. This will only move his support along. In that, I have a problem with his behavior.
There was nothing "quiet" or "professional" about it.
