I agree. How does LE know that Mr. Morris isn't smuggling drugs. Or bombs. Or illegal weapons. Until they serve the warrant, they have no way of being sure. It sounds like they planned and executed this correctly. Whether or not their information for the warrant was sound is irrelevant to this arguement, if your problem is that LE showed up armed and ready for the worst case. Clearly they thought the guy was breaking the law and involved in illegal trade.
By the way, the "house arrest" that Mr. Norris complained about is completely legal and absolutely appropriate in these circumstances. I'm sure he would have been even more irritated if they kicked him out of the house and then searched it.
