It's fairly common, particularly with a just-terminated employee or one who left on bad terms, to review any activity they undertook between "we're letting you go" and the last time they actually left the building. Because occasionally, just-terminated employees try to get revenge.
I'm not saying this is definitely the case here. Just noting a circumstance under which "checked everything the employee did recently" makes a lot of sense -- and a circumstance under which "searched for pressure cooker bomb information" might appear suspicious, and might lead someone to contact law enforcement.
