thewayneDavid House met (then) Bradley Manning and helped set up financing for his legal defense and also visited him in prison, reporting on the harsh conditions of his jail time. The Feds waited for him to leave the country, in this case going to Mexico for a vacation with his girlfriend, then when he returned in November 2010 and went through Customs at O'Hare they seized all his electronics and subjected him to an extended secondary interrogation.
Since entering the country places you in a Constitution-free zone, the Feds were free to search everything without a warrant.
They kept his electronics for 49 days, almost double the legal max of 30 days, and only released them when the ACLU sent a letter.
