As someone who makes a living working in retail loss prevention, let me clarify that its not citizens arrest that is generally used, but rather the broader power defined in your state's respective merchant privilege statute.
You'll find that this is significantly less restrictive than the requirements for citizen's arrests and extends a significant amount of civil & criminal immunity to the merchant as long as the letter of the statute is followed.
Sony makes outstanding laptops - I am glad to see them coming out with one with a Transmeta Crusoe processor.
My PCG-Z505RX runs linux flawlessly, except for the blasted winmodem that it came with - overall though, it's an outstanding laptop.

OK.. which law prohibits an employer from doing this?
Don't say the Bill of Rights - because it doesn't apply to private companies..
Not sure how that may or may not apply in this case since his employer is NIH..

Again, this varies by state.
