What right do I have as pilot re pax bags

Sit a) I am captain on A380, fully loaded.
Do I search each pax bags, do I ask them at trhe top of the steps to sign a release document. Does the departure airport securiitry, if it exists have any responsability for prohibited items. Was I asked if I packed all passengers bags.

Sit b) I am captain on G650, with one pax.
Do I search hin, frisking, then open all his bags.???? my new job starts Monday flipping buggers in McZ.

Sit c) my co crew members have 10kgs of white powder in thier flight bag. I can only assume I am responsable for that too.

WTF, and where is the logic, law in this matter.

glf

ps just come back from South America with cans of company produce. (samples)..... Should I have opened each tin.
