(21,506 posts)So then I would think you would be able to look at this from the point of view of the government who found the partner of someone that has admitted to access to stolen classified documents entering their country carrying computers and flash drives..
I don't find it the least bit unreasonable to detain and question such a person and I am not sure why you would either. Unless of course you have personal knowledge that this person wasn't carrying stolen classified information.
I am all for the truth. I am finding little to none of it in these conversations. There's plenty of wild conjecture to go around on all sides though.
Were I this person there is no way in hell I would be foolish enough to think I would be able to travel to the closest ally of the country my partner was leaking classified info on, with computers and flash drives without being detained.
By the same token I wouldnt walk into the airport with guns in my carry on and expect not to be detained either.
