The customs staff look for people with bag tags from outside of EU when flights from well-known international hubs based in EU arrive. And people without any tag are the most suspicious because they might have thrown it away to avoid the check. Often, the check is only an interview, it depends how the customs got satisfied. | |

The answer concerns flights from Dresden to Frankfurt, and there probably is no airline that will sell you a ticket from a non-EU airport to Frankfurt via Dresden nor check your luggage through on such an itinerary. Therefore, no luggage on the plane would be subject to customs inspection. Even if such a flight is somehow possible, it will be very unlikely as there is far more capacity to Frankfurt and Munich. | |
