Apparently it was just filed today, and I have no real details.
From memory, I think the passenger was traveling south, a grad student in Canada, who also carried a French passport.
Heard it on the local (WAMU) radio station. Apparently AU members are not the only ones who are getting pissed off about un-warranted searches.........
The report did indicate that when a laptop is taken, it can be MONTHS before it is returned.
