One one hand, this is another in a long list of incredibly uncomfortable stories about the ham-handedness of Homeland Security, and how they are probably a tad more heavy-handed with their powers than they perhaps should be (though I note that the story suggests that it was the Canadian version of DHS, not the US DHS. It's not exactly clear).
On the other hand, any security protocol that includes provision for reducing the number of Death Cab albums in the world can't be all wrong. So I'm going to call it a wash.
