My jaw dropped...so you're violating my property...opening personal gifts I have brought for people without my consent, but can't tell me why?

Can someone please point me to official documentation as to why? You can read the ingredients on the food package? Why open the entire thing so that is no longer sanitary? I have had TSA break zippers and even glass items in my bag and shrug before walking away...someone with no educational background should not be given this power. It's beyond insane...they feed on it.
And some people still can't understand why it's called Security Theater. Ridiculous.
