This is a very American statement. Very much the sort of thing that
a trained Langley personage would do.
Not being American I wouldn't be able to understand this concept.
Our American friends make great play on the constitution. This means
that any gangster can get hold of anything. In the UK the law is
completely different and regardless of where a discussion takes place
the security people have a right to either investigate or reach a
decision without myself or anyone else being allowed to argue with
them.
I'm speaking from practical experience and not the ivory towers of
academia.
