It's a good thing you don't work in anything to do with security. Your lax attitude is equivalent to standing with your butt cheeks spread wide with a sign saying "ream me".

Any gift to any MP has to be declared. It is a routine matter to submit physical gifts to the Signals Directorate for checking, including x-raying. National security could be at stake here.
