every time we re-entered by car or on foot, including bags. They were very polite about it and apologetic, but it made me feel very secure so I didn't mind at all. Cars were thoroughly checked to, underneath with a mirror, boot opened and scanned with metal detector, and inside of car (including our bags) with metal detector. We had been in Phuket the week before and there the guards at gates just waved as you walked through, so Bali felt much safer
