Because of the insistence of a certain officer at Britain Airport, more than half the delegation had their luggage forcibly inspected.
Could they resist? Of course they could… but it really wouldn't be appropriate. Even though the team had quite a few security personnel and that officer on the other side didn't actually have that much authority, at the end of the day he represented the law enforcement of Britain.
The Huaxia Citizens had come this time to make friends, not enemies.
This kind of crap is really infuriating: if you refuse the search, a conflict is very likely; so the Huaxia Citizens, long used to wearing the "rabbit skin," discussed it and decided, fine, let them search… anyway we're used to swallowing our anger; on the international stage, we can't afford to throw away name and righteousness.
