I remember when I worked in the airport, one of the things we were taught about diplomatic bags was that they could be scanned but not searched, and only for security concerns. For example, before loading onto a plane, the checked bag is scanned, like all others. If a firearm or large lithium battery was detected, it would be set aside (all bags are treated this way). However, unlike a regular bag, which can then be searched with either the customer or an airline representative present and customs agent (or federal Police in the event of serious offenses), the diplomatic bag could not be removed from flight. We would have to inform the bags owner of what was screened, and then they would have the choice of removing the item or leaving it and letting it be loaded normally. Fortunately, like this video says, majority of diplomats are actually reasonable people, and when you tell them that their lithium battery is considered a danger to the flight, they usually are happy to remove it.

Almost forgot, here is a link to my Twitter: twitter.com/PoliticswPaint *Regarding Kinder Surprise Eggs in the US:* The original “Kinder Surprise Egg”, the kind which is a hollow chocolate egg with an encased toy inside, is still illegal in the US as of the making of this video. There is, however, a variant called “Kinder Joy Egg”, which has become legal in the US since 2017. This one is fairly different, as it is an egg shaped plastic item of which one half is filled with chocolate cream and the other half contains a toy. You can search pictures of both on google to see the difference. Just wanted to clarify that since I’ve gotten multiple comments asking about this.

[@NYKevin100]

It is a common misconception that Kinder Surprise Eggs are illegal in the US because of concerns about choking. They are actually illegal because the US bans any non-food item in food unless it is "functional" (i.e. unless it somehow helps you eat or hold the food, like the stick in a kebab or lollipop), regardless of the age of the typical consumer. Since the toy inside a Kinder egg does not help you eat the egg, it is considered non-functional and prohibited. The law was originally intended to stop people from adulterating food with sawdust and other non-edible filler materials.

I don't think they are, I see them a lot, although I'm not sure if they have toys inside them or not. If I recall correctly, they are illegal by techicality.

While it's unlikely that anyone will choke on the prize inside the egg, it is still a potential choking hazard hidden within food.

its to make sure, that the host country cannot under ANY circumstances whatsoever legally do anything to the diplomat like if Russia and the US got mad at each other over something. the Russians cannot under any circumstances arrested and thereby use US diplomats as bargaining tips or vise vesa. so countries cant just fake a crime and use it to at least temporarily have the diplomat as a defacto hostige like when china arrested some canadians citizens in china. after huawei CEO (or whatever she was to the company) was arrested in canada i didn't explain it very good but i hope you get what i'm saying

I mean, diplomats breaking the law can be declared a persona non grata, which is typically done in cases of suspected espookage.

[@thuytientran8195]

Regarding diplomatic immunity, can a state (state A) expell another state's diplomat (state B) as a countermeasure for state B's violation of an international obligation towards state A. I know that states usually conduct this act on international plane but I don't think it is lawful since the diplomats are entitled to immunity and inviolability right, which may only be precluded for national security reasons.

[@PoliticswithPaint]

Well, according to the international conventions, a state can legally declare a foreign diplomat ‘persona non grata’ without reason. But in practice, there is usually a reason given, in most cases some form of break-down in diplomatic relations or an incident involving the diplomat. Of course, this does’t immediately expel a diplomat, that would be indeed against international law - but it does give the targeted diplomat a short time window leave the country before the diplomatic immunity expires.

[@doujinflip]

Yes, individuals can be PNGed if they (or their family members) commit a serious enough incident, but usually their own embassy will send them packing first. PNGs are often used for getting caught or being suspected of espionage (which is a government function and thus has some coverage under diplomatic assurances); the US and USSR/Russia expel each others' diplomats fairly regularly if they think they're in their intelligence community, but this decision has to be balanced with having their own spies/possible regular staff expelled in retaliation. Same goes for entire diplomatic facilities, as had happened with the consulates in St. Petersburg and San Francisco, as well as Houston and Chéngdū.

[@CromlixQuartz]

[@Exodon2020]

Countries doing this will be responsible for our Diplomatic framework eventually crashing down on itself. Because this is something a country simply cannot ignore. A citizen of a foreign country got murdered by Diplomatic Representatives of another country in the country they work in. Turkey should have cancelled all diplomatic relations to Saudi-Arabia after this. Same goes for Germany with that Cyclist incident btw - unless the former Diplomat voluntarily submitted themselves to a trial. But this was a time when Saudi-Arabia was even more heavily protected from Washington than usually. I mean they murdered an American Citizen on foreign soil and the White House didn't even react to it. They were totally unphased and did nothing.

I had a friend in high school who had diplomatic immunity due to his father's Job. If he forgot his wallet and wanted to get something at the store during our break, he'd just put whatever he wanted into his backpack and zip it shut. Legally he probably could have been searched, but he relied on the fact that his diplomatic passport would scare off any cop. Crazy

as a general rule, i don't think it's healthy for a kids mental development to know that they basically above the law, no matter what they do you know the line "do you know who my father is!!" kinda like what kids of rich/powerful people often suffer from not saying the person you are talking about are like that, just a general ting often seen

[@cjwatts721]

Your diplomatic immunity? Has just been revoked 🔫😎

[@nafizulsanko]

That would be a cool line for a movie

8:09, funny little thing with that. Iran back in the '70s and '80s, would not let the DC Fire Department on the property even though they didn't have a choice. So during the embassy siege DCFD companies would just sit outside and wait for the building to go sky high.

What about people who work for the UN, do they have diplomatic immunity?

[@edka1031]

[@stronkstream7791]

Fun Fact: The only countries the Us does not have an embassy with is Bhutan🇧🇹 Iran🇮🇷 North Korea🇰🇵 and Syria🇸🇾

[@mappingshaman5280]

Da fuck is their problem with mah boi Bhutan 🇧🇹 🇧🇹 🇧🇹

[@stronkstream7791]

@@mappingshaman5280 Bhutan is picky with who they recognize, for example they do not recognize the US but recognizes Canada, they do not recognize both Chinas probably for neutrality reasons, etc. It's weird but I ain't da government, I'll have to ask if I ever got the money. They do not even recognize the UK ffor some reason (recognition as in diplomatic relationships)

🤔🤔 so and that is why the kinder company changed the setting of their chocolate surprise eggs by putting the toy at one half of the egg and the chocolate on the other half and each half already enclosed and separated to avoid the kid getting choked with the toy (reason why the kinder surprise eggs were illegal in the US) 🤔🤔

[@commisaryarreck3974]

That's kinder joy, another product that's been around for decades already The eggs that are illegal are kinder surprise eggs. That have the toy in a yellow capsule inside the hollow chocolate
