I had the same kind of problem twice in the same country. The last but one travel was less traumatic physically, but was a similar disaster in psychological aspects. I had only an old tablet with me and they examined it without my presence, what made me feel *very* uncomfortable. It was taken for few minutes only, but it was time enough to make me feel insecure about data. Not mine, but my loved ones' data. You can think I am a dramatic paranoid, but it was the reason why my last travel had absolutely no electronics. :( > The experience you mention is about physically roughing up travelers and > stealing personal belongings from the suitcase, something well documented > in many Latin American countries.

It was a pretty cute red suitcase with a pink metal padlock and a big pink satin ribbon. They put the broken padlock inside the suitcase, which was cut as half of the ribbon. It was *not* a thief, who did this evil act was the people that should protect us. :(
