My understanding of the relevant laws is clearly lacking, but the common theme of these border detentions is that apparently one is being held for questioning, yet is not detained/arrested. In that case, the threats to cooperate or be arrested otherwise do not make any sense, since the border agents have no power to arrest you in present situation anyway - is that correct? I.e., Miranda was just passing through UK, so what prevented him from simply staring blankly at the agents for 9 hours? It's certainly less exhausting than answering silly questions of some failures equipped with a crash course on basic interrogation techniques? -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte -- Liberationtech is a public list whose archives are searchable on Google.
