This leaves out an important piece of information - Curry used his home IP in an attempt to gain control of an attackers wallet but the wallet had already been emptied by another party.

Curry didn't actually do anything wrong - he was acting as a security researcher. However it was sufficient for him to be legally Subpeona'd before a New York Grand Jury and TSA used that Subpeona as part of the detainment criteria.

I don't love the grounds of the electronic device search here but this was not random or arbitrary.
