    I'm a bit puzzled. You are a EU resident, so I would expect you know there are no border checks within the Schengen area, and trains (apart from a few exception) do not have luggage scanners. Commented Jan 29 at 19:18

    @KristvanBesien I am aware that there are no such things as luggage scanners on trains except Eurostar. But border police officers, at least in Germany, have permission to search your luggage if you are crossing the border into Germany. That is what I am afraid of. In addition, there are sometimes border controls, where certain travelers are picked for investigation. For example, if you take the IC from Hamburg to Copenhagen, the Danish border police will go through the train and check the ID Card of every traveler.

    They will not search luggage of normal passengers though. They do not have the time and manpower for that. They will do it if they got a tip you have a cut up corpse in there or something... Commented Jan 30 at 8:58

    "there are no such things as luggage scanners on trains except Eurostar" - in Spain there are luggage scanners for the high-speed trains
