teribus, can I get this right - 'Open borders were established in Europe years ago, the UK did not adopt this policy as it was not compatible with the anti-terrorist legislation in place under the Emergency Powers Act'

can you tell me which threat these emergency powers were originally designed to combat and when they were introduced?

and if that is the reason for the customs having the power to stop and search, does this mean that when I was stopped it was not because I was suspected of having drink or cigarettes, but I was in fact suspected of being a terrorist?

can you define personal consumption? do I have to drink the lot or can I pour my wife, mother, friend, neighbour a glass from the same bottle?
