I believe counter-espionage in part of the FBI's job description. If this is true then the FBI is just doing their job here. A job they have been conditioned to do unconditionally, without consideration of "secondary" considerations like what should be acceptable interference in a free and open society.
It is us "free and brave" Americans who are failing our ideals if we change our lawful behavior by one iota because of what the government regards as suspicious. If we are all (or an unmanageable big number of us) are suspect, then (hopefully) suspicion will be meaningless.
