After a few enquiries it appears that the customs have absolutely no right to do a cavity search. It is not the medical personel presence that is required but the fact that a cavity search can only be carried out by qualified medical personel.
I suggest that it is our responsiblity to advise our crews of this during briefings and to support them where required.
This country still has laws that even the local customs are required to observe.

We all assume the crew get around with a high level of team spirit...BUTT... this is not always the case.
As Mr. Ree pointed out on the "Sacked CCMs" thread, a lot of the time the crew have anything butt a team spirit, at least as far as the pilots are concerned, which can be a major bummer. These crew will never be seen out enjoying a cold heiny with the pilots. Instead they stay down the rear or near L2 all the time.
Sadly, the first thing we might hear from one of the crew after a long BKK/SYD or couple of 14hr sectors to MEL is,
"Captain, help, this guy wants to look inside my ASS!! Do something, we're a team, remember???"
My suggestion in this case would be to ring your CCM (if you still have one) and ask to discuss it at a future date. I'm too tired having just flown an approach one dot high on the vasis and can't be arsed...
As for me, having read all the above, my new policy is never to jettison the long-haul-log until I get home so as to maximise the effect if they try that **** on me. In fact I can't wait!
Butt seriously...
it will be a test of my character and an indication of what living here has done to me the day they pull asside one of my crew for an anal probe. Especially if it's some snooty leb who never said a word to us for 10 sectors. I like to think I'll do the right thing. Maybe I will even if only out of a sense of personal outrage because the team spirit sure ain't there most of the time.
To all the cabin crew reading this thread, there's a damn good reason to make an effort to visit the cockpit. As if you needed one at all.

Jeezuzzzz... hasn't anyone ever heard of sarcasm??? It's a thread about peoples' butts.
Maybe that's why Masscarpone is such a cranky old hag:
Maybe someone in Customs, probably that really fat slug with the goatee and the really fat fingers, has stuck a couple of them up Masscarpone's balloon knot after a Colombo because he heard that's where all the coke is made.

chicken_or_fish and gee wizz: Thanks very much for the praise! Iīm a rocker, cooooool!
Having said that, I totally agree with the other guys talking bout tema spirit: Unfortunately, too often the cabin crew doesnīt give a s....t of seeing us in the cockpit. Itīs give and take, so I would go the extra mile for a nice crew (and I think the rest of us as well).
Itīs a bit a pity to see a lack of fun or going out together on layovers, compared to all the other airlines I used to work before. Cannot think of a reason...maybe someone can?
And Desert Whine: You are 100 % spot on with your post saying that there are more good reasons to see us in the cockpit!
