Chilling, and Kafka-esque. As it happens I'm not convinced that the reason for his being detained had anything to do with him being a Trump critic and Democrat donor, contrary to his claims in the article, but more likely it's some lifeless bureaucrat/computer program or both putting a red flag on his file for some esoteric reason, very possibly connected to his work and writings on online privacy. The lack of transparency on the reasons for detention are the real problem. Josef K never found out the charge made against him either. (edit -spelling)
