When dealing with authorities who spin stories out of lose fragments by filling the gaps with conjecture (and imagination) and then prosecute under "terrorism-related" charges and "conspiracy", perhaps you don't want to supply those lose fragments by allowing a search.
It's not hard for some nutty law enforcement/intelligence analyst to say that someone's use of FT and Google and going to airports was part of a plot to attack airports and planes.
And then they just fill in the gaps and the "suspect" finds themselves in need of an attorney (which hopefully they will be afforded
).
