I am not sure why everyone thinks this has anything to do with bullying and intimidation. Greenwald implicated his partner by saying he had considered sending STOLEN documents to him in a previous interview. Of course British authorities would detain someone who might have stolen property with national security implications.

And what does that have to do with terrorism exactly?

A green account with "SAS" in the nickname, not too clever.

Stolen documents? No, no. He was, at worst, carrying a copy of information someone else copied without being allowed to so.
You see, if he were carrying stolen documents, someone at Booze Hamilton would be saying "shiiit, that manilla folder with the post-it saying important stuff, don't lose got stolen!".
If someone tells you a secret, hd might be a hero or a villain... but a thief he is not!

Assuming the files were encrypted, as far as David Miranda is concerned, he was carrying noise.

Sure, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/25/greenwald-s...
"When I was in Hong Kong, I spoke to my partner in Rio via Skype and told him I would send an electronic encrypted copy of the documents,” Greenwald said. “I did not end up doing it. Two days later his laptop was stolen from our house and nothing else was taken. Nothing like that has happened before. I am not saying it’s connected to this, but obviously the possibility exists.”
