I can accept that - but, that doesn't make it right ---- they must have had a reason to searh him - apparently someone said it was NSW detectives so - why not get this done before? - why on federal property? he may have had some watch on him that triggered at the airport - but, it seems strange that for something like this you would wait for that - unless you were mucking around with the powers - which is what should not be done. I remember in Germany that if you had any traffic fines - they got foreigners at the airport - so, something like - if you had flicked a speed camera - then, it came up as you exited the country those sorts of things are very dangerous - once in place, if the wrong mob get in they can be instantly used for major power abuses - political rivals - god knows what we cannot know or control in advance who comes into power in the future - but, we can limit tools at any time in present - this has a dreadful smell about it. Duttons changes are even more scary - everyone should read how things were changed in policing before WW2 -- and, learn from it. We have been on the slippery slope here for years - I don't know how long - but, Jo B Petersen certainly got off to a big start with it - and the laws he changed as far as I know are still on the books that's what happens - you write laws that 'can' abuse - and, even if no one uses them - they just sit there waiting for some power fool to come along and they don't have to change laws - the laws are there waiting for them - it's really scary stuff

Sir Joh is the exact opposite of Jacinda Ardern. He was successful until the end. She was successful at the beginning but calamitous at the end which is hopefully nigh so the rebuilding and healing can begin.
