I know that in Germany those security measures are only in place at large public airports. Small airports where private jets are coming and going don't check luggage. I think this problem exists in most countries. This is possibly how Kashoggi's body got flown out or how sheiks return fled daughters and wifes.

Checking luggage going on to private jets does not provide a similar security benefit as it may for scheduled airline services. For customs there are separate spot checks, but usually on arrival as it usually doesn’t make much sense to be concerned about illegal exports. Human trafficking is a separate issue, FBO staff and private jet operators should be trained to combat such just like normal airlines do. That training works, I’ve been on the receiving end of it as a suspected human trafficker. (My friend told the gate agent to look at my phone for his ticket because he doesn’t own one. We were both briefly detained until the airline had someone talk to him in his native language and verify that he’s there by his own free will)
