Of course they do - I would be more upset about being arrested as a terrorism suspect than being searched, as well.
However, if there were an anonymous tip that I was involved with some horrific plan, I would fully expect to be arrested if there were the slightest plausibility of truth - i.e if I were being accused of plotting which involved air travel, having recently been at airports would add that slight plausibility.
I don't know about this particular case, because (unsurprisingly) the facts are not all public. I have not read anything in the news which would lead me to believe that significant numbers of people have been groundlessly arrested - do you have a source for such a belief?
Rather, I find this article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,1843562,00.html), along with the associated comments, fascinating.
