Yeah, BOM does x-ray everyone (although in peak times they usually have a customs guy roving around the queue to the x-ray asking people what they have in their bags and depending on their answers they are allowed to skip the xray - usually students who reply that they are only carrying books and clothes). They're terrible at using the x-ray though - on one occasion they couldn't figure out what a ball of Edam cheese in my checked baggage was and asked me if it was a bomb.
On another, they kept insisting that I had something in my bag when in fact it turned out to be the next guy who had it in his bag.
