See Telegraph UK, "David Miranda loses 'illegal detention' fight":
Partner of journalist who exposed secret information leaked by Edward Snowden was held for nine hours at Heathrow under anti-terror laws.More.
The partner of the journalist at the centre of the Edward Snowden spying leaks has lost his High Court challenge that he was detained unlawfully last year.
Brazilian David Miranda was held for nine hours at Heathrow airport last August under counter terror laws after police discovered some 58,000 documents from the Snowden leaks cache.
His partner, Glenn Greenwald, was the writer who exposed the secret information stolen by the CIA contractor Snowden and published in the Guardian newspaper.
The articles, revealing information on the US National Security Agency and the UK’s GCHQ, caused a political storm and led to accusations that the leaks had put national security at risk.
Mr Miranda was stopped on August 18 at Heathrow as he travelled from Germany to Brazil.

David Miranda and Glenn Greenwald, @ggreenwald, were of course a couple of shabby little cowards and liars throughout this affair.

Greenwald, @ggreenwald, lied about Miranda through the pages of the @guardian who conspired with him - like printing "denied a lawyer".

David #Miranda went on CNN and lied through his teeth that he had no idea what he was carrying - then told @BuzzFeed it was all his idea.

My original argument, carrying GCHQ info to "influence a govt" = Terrorism under the Act was completely correct. @carlgardner @jackofkent

And of course, the pitiful groveling at Greenwald's, who some day, God willing, will rot in jail:
