I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who was given permission to search attendees of the relay?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Australian police have been given powers to search relay spectators, following a call by the Chinese Students and Scholars Association for Chinese Australian students to "go defend our sacred torch" against "ethnic degenerate scum and anti-China separatists".". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
