Do you believe the government entered his apartment? It seems at least somewhat likely. They see the sparse apartment and picture of some religious thing on the wall, and it freaks them out. They take the picture back to their office to figure out what the hell it is.

I'm not knowledgeable about this stuff, but it seems like they could have used a "sneak and peek" warrant, as authorized in the patriot act.

I kind of think this guy should look into a civil lawsuit against those agencies. Did they violate any of his constitutional rights? Not letting him get food / drink, threatening to hold his bag if he walked away? Was a search warrant attained and he was never given notice, even after the fact?

Yes, I do believe that, because it's plausible, and because they asked him, when facing his apartment building, which side the parking lot is on. Which suggests that someone was there who could verify the answer.

To me it suggests that they had someone in the building trying to figure out which unit he lives in.

They probably just looked it up on Google maps.

Stole his picture.
