Hi Keith:
No, we are talking about arresting journalists and turning their homes inside out, going through their notes, and everything else they own... here in the US, not only do we have press freedom under the 1st amendment of the Constitution, but we have a right not be be arrested by the state under the circumstances mentioned in the artical above, the fourth amendment - rather under siege by the present administration, I am afraid.
I don't I have heard of the IRA tracking down British soldiers in their homes, on the other hand, Irish lawyers such as Patrick Finucane and Rosemary Nelson where killed under circumstances very like those you mention above.
All the best
