By way of clarification, Keith, I don't think I 'demanded' anything - I asked if anyone knew.    You have made the point that the sheer quantity of materials to go thorough is part of the problem. In essence, that was my question: does anyone know if the delay was purely a consequence of that workload or was there an intrinsic reason it took 14 days. An example of what I would consider an intrinsic reason is that various biological tests may need some numbers of days for cultures to grow to a testable level.

To me, this is quite important. If the reason is workload then additional staff, etc, can go some way to addressing it without necessarily doing anything about the detention period. On the other hand, if the testing is intrinsically irreducable (under current knowledge) there is a stronger case for detaining people - or more accurately keeping them under some kind of supervision.
