I think searching a government / diplomatic plane isn't allowed.



Tell that to Spain:

"9.27am BST Morales said he refused a request by the Spanish authorities to inspect his plane in Vienna and has not been granted permission to use Spanish airspace, according to Reuters."

They are not allowed to forcibly enter. But of course that does not stop bullying like this where they the "request" permission to enter while making it clear they won't allow him to fly through their airspace if he doesn't.


Which could/would cause as big of a diplomatic uproar as forcibly entering the plane.


You seemed to think this would be some sort of protection, but ultimately you were right. Bolivia is pissed.
