I don't think there's anything surprising about the author being detained. I don't think there's anything unreasonable about it. It's the manner in which the interrogation was conducted that was the problem. Yelling in his face? Asking him what his religious beliefs are? Are they detaining him while they conduct an investigation, or are they going to arrest him for being Muslim? What you don't hear about after a terrorist attack is how the attacker's innocent mother/brother/sister/friend/cousin was interrogated in exactly this way by a customs agent, and that's what started that terrorist down the path of violence. No one ever has a chance to be appalled at the aftereffects of interrogations such as these.
