| The cofounder of a group supporting a US Army private accused of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks filed a lawsuit yesterday accusing the Department of Homeland Security of violating his civil rights by seizing his laptop without a warrant last fall when he passed through airport security in Chicago. David House, 24, a computer programmer and former MIT researcher who lives in Cambridge, asserts in the suit filed in US District Court in Boston that federal agents seized his laptop, USB storage device, video camera, and cellphone Nov. 3, when he arrived at OÂ’Hare International Airport after a vacation in Mexico. |
