The first link was about a lawyer, who represented the soldier who stole massive amounts of classified material while stationed in a war zone, being detained and searched at the border. The second was about a film maker returning to the country after traveling to a war zone and being detained and searched.

In both cases their laptops/cameras/etc were searched and confiscated for a time. Neither person seems to have been detained overnight.

This is just the government being thorough. This is not disturbing to me.
