    Complete waste of time, IMO, if it is actually true.
    What did they hope to find, a sneaky gram or two in his pocket?


    Then what, a fine?

      So he didn't dip it in flour to provoke exactly the response he got?

        Given the quality of most "showbiz level" sherbet the flour was likely to be of higher purity .

        TBF they would have done a chemical test on it, it must have come up fairly strong for them to take it further.

          This would never happen to any self respecting contractor.

          It would always be a £50 note...

                  Mr C was rather embarrassed at Heathrow airport enroute to a business meeting in Hungary, to have a rather cute Springer Spaniel come up to him, sit at his feet and expect a treat from his police handler on the other end of his lead.

                  After a rather mortifying explanation that all he had was Hungarian currency, the policeman said the business people going to Hungary were increasing being tagged with false positives by police dogs for this very reason.
