The idea is that people buy alcohol in the duty free store and keep valuable goods like gold close by. If they discover big items in the screening they probably message some officer to meet the pax at the belt

In Munich customs screens baggage coming from BKK that way. Interesting bags are held back and only released at the end. The officers stand at the belt and collect you with the bag on the spot.
