Sorry Bill, that was a U.S.-centric answer.

(I fully agree with all points of your P.S.)

They open up
suitcases, unpack things and throw them back unpacked at their
will.

         Yuri, I mentioned this on another reflector but will
repeat it
here since you mentioned this.  It IS possible to request being
physically present when the inspection is done.  You may have to
wait awhile but it is possible since we did this on both legs
of a flight to NYC.  Just be sure you get to the airport in time
to allow for a bit of waiting.

P.S.  I think the K2 would be my radio of choice for any
expeditions,
even though it doesn't like my big hands and old eyes!
