I've heard it speculated that it's a standard procedure to arrest someone under the charges that you know are going to be really straightforward and investigate and make stick (ie. 'entering a restricted area'), and then worry about the more motive-based crimes (like sedition), or those that have some complex legal issues (felony murder) later.
