- Comment on can my image be recorded in British airports by tv camera crews even if I don't consent? 6 months ago:
If an officer at a British airport asks you if he can search your luggage and you say no and you ask him if you are under arrest, what happens then?
The police (and Border Force staff) have the legal right to search you and your belongings, as long as they can justify the reason for that request. If you refuse to allow them to do that you will most likely be arrested and you will have your belongings confiscated and searched anyway.

It's not a perfect analogy, but a good way to think about it if you're not a programmer is to say "why do we need recipes when we can just buy a product in the store and read the ingredients list".
Just because you know the ingredients, that doesn't mean you know how to put them together in the right order, in the right quantities, and using the correct processes to recreate the finished product.
