And yet Raymond Davis went scot free when the Americans claimed that he had diplomatic immunity.

Raymond Davis didn't go scot free when the US claimed he had diplomatic immunity, he was imprisoned by Pakistan.

right - but released shortly after - and never strip searched.

It wasn't reported that he was strip searched, but I hope that's just because strip searches are pretty standard procedures when admitting detainees in most countries. Drugs and weapons can still be found in jails and prisons, of course, but I would hope most countries put in strict measures to at least minimize the number of weapons that detainees have.
