I am not sure how often Greenwald himself and the likes of the Wikileaks team travel. But if this is the first time any of them is grabbed and have data taken from them under this given law. Then I think the most interesting question will be how did the authorities know that they should grab Miranda in particular and on this particular day?

Quite possibly the aim was not so much to gain access to the documents but to keep Greenwald from having access. Anyway, regardless of other motives, this denial would be effective harassment on top of the harassment of seizing Greenwald's partner. It's the old "you're under suspicion, right, so we had to break every thing you in your apartment, right, looking for hidden documents, see. We'll tell you in court if there's something we can use, see" approach.
