On several occasions, I have written about a well-known security researcher that goes by the name Moxie Marlinspike. It appears that he is on a watch list and gets detained at airports now:

I would release you from the prohibition about "feeling," as in, "How do you [i]feel[/i] about this?"
It twists my gut.
Further, our boy needs to learn a thing or three about conduct in custody.

Means a great deal more than your "three things".
I suggest that you, or that anyone else who has no inkling, are too far behind the curve to be caught up.

"You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
and Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done"

Obviously it's harassment. It's the big mean bully shaking down little kids for lunch money, just because he feels like it.
Moxie should have a looksee at their permissions, see what kind of a ruckus he can raise without giving them cause to shoot him dead. Anything short of that is what to do.
He should also warn them that connecting to his devices may cause irreparable harm to their systems. He might even make it so that it will...
And he should look into distributing himself, being dependent upon devices is unbecoming.

This is old hat, from every country. See also John Lennon.
Still doesn't make it right.

So I would expect that it's either that he's a target of that investigation or this is part of the interview process for a high-paying job in cyber-security. :)
After the largest leak of classified data in history, I am sure that there is a massive effort underway to connect the dots and figure out who all the players are.
Whether you feel that Assange is a hero or a traitor, the scope and scale of the data breach was unprecedented, and when you kick over a hornet's nest, expect to have a whole bunch of very angry hornets.

Missing.
It's telling that the various US agencies latch on to, and expand, these between-the-floorboards loopholes through due process.
"Rendering", "Waterboarding" and now "Border Search".
Next they'll claim they're allowed to waterboard people at the border without probable cause... for a US citizen to be outside the US is obviously suspicious enough to call for extreme measures! :p

So once this legislation passes, the US will be able to bar passengers from being on planes that do not land on US soil, only pass through US airspace.
So for example the Canadian man that owns a mine in Cuba could be banned from flying through US airspace on a Toronto - Havana flight. He is charged with a crime in the US solely because of his ownership in the Cuban mine. Now not only can he not enter the Us without fear of being thrown in jail, he can't overfly the US?
If you look at a map, you can't get to too many places in the Caribean, Central or South America from Canada without overflying the US, unless you detour to Europe, Africa or Asia.

X-( People like that already have enough invasive ideas. They don't need no help from no furriners!

Actually with the recent Court Case where the bulk of the Prosecutions Evidence was disallowed I would think that they need all the help that they can get.
If they persist in using [b]Unlawful[/b] ways of acquiring Evidence you are going to see lots more cases get thrown out when they eventually come to trial.
Just because some Ijiot says that you can do this to get what he thinks you need doesn't make it legal and is very unlikely to make it acceptable to the Courts who will continue to throw out the evidence. ;)
This is nothing more than Laziness on the part of those doing the investigation. After all why do my job properly when I can just be a slob and not need to bother? :D
