So it was only 1 British citizen that actually had her laptop seized, 2
years ago? The article doesn't mention any other seizes of laptops,
specifically - just "The lawsuit was inspired by two dozen cases, 15 of
which involved searches of cellphones, laptops, MP3 players and other
electronics". Searches doesn't necessarily mean seizure.
