This is exactly what some voices of caution were saying would happen to
the anti-terrorist laws: they would get (mis)applied to things bearing
no relation to what they were put in place to combat.

This was not a terrorist threat - except according to the definition in
a particular law.  A sane jurisdiction would take this as reason to fix
the law.  (Actually, a sane jurisdiction would not have enacted it in
the first place.)

The real wonder, to me, is that more people who can relatively easily
flee the USA aren't.
