I think it is a good thing that our legal system can differentiate restraining a person for a temporary stay due to process or safety concerns and arrest. This is very different from the police arresting someone.

When it comes to leaving secure sites you can often be restrained to prevent you from smuggling out sensitive materials which is quite sane and necessary in a number of situations. There are also a plethora of public sites (i.e. government run) that non-enlisted citizens are barred from entering - though that is a bit of a different situation.
