David Miranda—partner of The Guardian’s lead NSA-leaks reporter Glenn Greenwald—was detained under local terrorism laws for nearly nine hours on Sunday at London’s Heathrow airport. Miranda was eventually released without any charges, but authorities confiscated property such as Miranda’s phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs, and games consoles, according to The Guardian.
