As does any fight against absolute power.
Read about him here, in Cory Doctorow's story in Boing Boing. Dr Peter Watts, Canadian science fiction writer, beaten and arrested at US border. His legal expenses will be a punishment in themselves.
The many comments are worth reading. I've had enough experience to believe the account, and to add that it's lucky that Peter has friends.
The experience of being an innocent attacked by government feels just like being raped. And having to pay for the privilege.
