detained many times going into Canada getting grilled by Immigration and Customs officials, but never coming back home. Once was for like 4 hours. It happens almost every time I fly there on business and they tear into my luggage and scatter it all over, treat me like I'm an animal or something. Very rarely do I get through without getting pulled into a separate room and questioned at length, and they are very unpleasant about it. If you dare to question even why they are pulling you aside, they get really aggressive too. The only place I've been that is worse is Australia, but I was only there once so I don't know if that is normal. I just don't have issues going anywhere else.
I'd like to know more about what's going on with this case though. We quite often find out that the stories are highly exaggerated and occasionally completely false. If it's true, we should find out the who and why so it can be corrected.
