Officials also confiscated Miranda\u00e2\u0080\u0099s electronics, including his cell phone, laptop, camera, and memory sticks, according to The Guardian, without saying when they would return the items.</p>\n<p>...</p>\n<p>Miranda was reportedly released without being officially charged with anything. Authorities had detained him for the maximum amount of time allowed under the law before they would have had to issue a formal arrest, according to The Guardian.</p>\n<p>...</p>\n<p>\u00e2\u0080\u009cThis is obviously a rather profound escalation of their attacks on the news-gathering process and journalism,\u00e2\u0080\u009d he wrote. \u00e2\u0080\u009cIt\u00e2\u0080\u0099s bad enough to prosecute and imprison sources. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s worse still to imprison journalists who report the truth. But to start detaining the family members and loved ones of journalists is simply despotic.\u00e2\u0080\u009d</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/08/18/glenn-greenwalds-partner-reportedly-detained-at-airport-for-9-hours-questioned-under-terrorism-act/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=story&amp;utm_campaign=Share%20Buttons\">NSA Journalist Glenn Greenwald\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Partner Reportedly Detained at Airport for 9 Hours, Questioned Under Terrorism Act | TheBlaze.com</a>.</p>\n"
