Fantastic Beasts: 21 WTF Moments
11. Nobody Takes The Beasts Off Scamander
Why is it that when Newt Scamander is arrested inside Magical Congress and taken to be interrogated by Graves, he is at no point searched?
This is a known criminal who is literally known to associate with magical creatures and known also to be carrying them at the precise time he is arrested. And while they are clever enough to take his suitcase off him, they don't waste the literal seconds it would take to search his pockets, where they would have discovered Picket the Bowtruckle who can pick locks and Swooping Evil who can do all sorts of useful magic for battle situations.
They're idiots, in other words.
