Under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, police are allowed to stop anyone passing through a UK port ‘to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism’.
Those stopped are legally obliged to answer questions and must provide the password or pin for electronic devices.
If they refuse, they can be charged with terror offences.
Robinson could be jailed for up to three months and/or receive a £2,500 fine if found guilty.
