xraying all the bags is something thats only done to meet the rules. The staff don't care what you have in your bag

I wish this was true.

In Spain recently something in my bag tripped the Xray alarm. I had to unpack my bag and take "something metal" out for inspection. It turned out it was an empty food packaging with a shiny foil bit on the side. Over all, it's not so big a deal, but they certainly cared about it.

Spain has had an actual terrorism problem in recent years, so they are likely to have better standards. Other EU countries don't really have that problem and so will have less strict standards. there are different standards for flying into Spain than other countries (or at least there were last time I flew to Spain, but that has been a long time)
