"Five Tory front bench MPs, including Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, were among travellers ordered to show their passports when they arrived at Prestwick Airport on Wednesday" - but then as the "domestic," flight was actually to Scotland, perhaps it was treated as international?

Where did you get that from? They can stop and search you but you are under no obligation to show any form of id and there is no requirement to carry id.
