By Andrew Osborn“It is routine for (Britain’s border agency) to search aircraft to protect the UK from organized crime and from those who attempt to bring harmful substances like drugs or firearms into the country,” Security Minister Ben Wallace said.
The Russian Embassy said Wallace’s logic was “difficult to comprehend” and only amplified its doubts about the incident.
Britain’s Foreign Office also said on Saturday it was considering allowing visits under consular access terms to Yulia Skripal, who is recovering in hospital against all expectations and is no longer in critical condition.
Russia’s embassy said that it had contacted Viktoria Skripal, Yulia’s cousin. “Upon receiving confirmation that Yulia Skripal’s condition is getting better and she is able to communicate, she said she would like to go to London and to visit her cousin,” the embassy said.
The BBC reported on Friday that Yulia was “conscious and talking,” which may help the investigation of how she and her father were poisoned.
The poisoning on British territory has united much of the West in taking action against what it regards as the hostile policies of President Vladimir Putin. This includes the United States under President Donald Trump, whom Putin had hoped would improve ties.

There's something hard to understand about security searches? From one of the tightest-ass countries in the world? I find THAT "difficult to comprehend"
