IMO, Not really worth complaining about the Police, they were only ding there job. I know we weren't really a security threat but they have to keep things strict in such an environment...

I disagree. I think it was unreasonable and disproportionate. It was a completely unnecessary police operation that was conducted incompetently and with very little dignity (with the honourable exception of some of the junior officers, who were powerless to object). They knew that we weren't a security threat, either. All they did was tie up their resources in a completely pointless palaver that reduced respect for the police even further among those who witnessed it. And there should be a follow-up.
