Mr. Miranda was in Berlin to deliver documents related to Mr. Greenwalds investigation into government surveillance to Ms. Poitras, Mr. Greenwald said. Ms. Poitras, in turn, gave Mr. Miranda different documents to pass to Mr. Greenwald. Those documents, which were stored on encrypted thumb drives, were confiscated by airport security, Mr. Greenwald said. All of the documents came from the trove of materials provided to the two journalists by Mr. Snowden. The British authorities seized all of his electronic media including video games, DVDs and data storage devices and did not return them, Mr. Greenwald said.

Both UK and the US have done a very good job during the the last decades bringing themselves down.

between the US and the UK regarding the detention of Miranda.

Which he has just vowed to do in response to the detention of his partner.

I really don't care.
But you gotta admit, crying that somebody stole your info after you yourself received stolen info is pretty fucking funny.

Greenwald complained about his partner being arrested under terrorist act.
