Double standards reveal the true purpose: they cause "issues" to promote the crap they sell.

You must have been lucky to have the underwear on, not be smuggling it and probably not having it branded: they could query it's authenticity or just want it for their wives.
Seriously, they just explore your wish to escape instead of to stay to fuck them (especially when you are a foreigner): that outrage must have been illegal.
Random selection for a thorough search as well as opening luggage in the absence of the owner is complete bullshit! Hurting the innocent to scare the guilty makes no point. Digging belongings without the owner is a violation of trust, an apparent theft facility.

It's weaklings/losers who need guns to fire those bullets:

Being a muff (to
need them in excess for the purpose) should be a crime.

This is how they steal your "sensitive" information. You should have it encrypted.

Fucking themselves is none of your business. Your device's contents is none of theirs. It looks extremely unlikely they can dismiss your legal rights (privacy, damage reimbursement claim) with a pamphlet. Not knowing (or just ignoring) their limits doesn't dismiss those. In your home country you can file a complaint and they must cause no obstacle to that. You can use this to keep them at bay (just "in theory" or in practice - depends on the country, of course).

They should surf the Web for that. The crap they are looking for must be cryptocurrency.
Work files can be of some value sometimes too.
