Except that a handgun's primary purpose is just that; it's a pretty blunt tool. But software can have many purposes, even if it is security related: research, practice, proof-of-concept, curiosity, ... We better hope they have some real evidence beyond just some random code; if mere possession is enough, they can throw all of us security people in jail, together with anybody who has any DRM circumvention or file-sharing software and whatnot.

I guess only the future will bring clarity if this is gross overreach or if they really have substantial evidence that he is both the source and had the intent.
