I had "extra screening" at the US border in 2007 or 2008 (I forget exactly when it was), and it wasn't much fun back then.
I think the author of this article made the classic mistake of admitting he was being paid for work, which is forbidden with a regular US tourist visa. It turns out that he did have the right visa (or the type of work he was doing is permitted - it wasn't clear in the article), but as soon as you say that you're being paid, it sets off alarm bells.
