It appears that the women refused the search and the agent's supervisor refused to allow a drug dog to be used on the vehicle. After the cameraman's ID was checked, he was turned loose without being charged with any crime.

I don't know about you, but I sure feel safer knowing these brave Homeland Security agents are protecting us from men armed with cameras along Interstate highways...

More More More!!! What happened?

Did the woman give permission to search?

This was a perfect example! Thank you.

That makes me want to salute a flag, or something.
