High-speed trains in Spain also have a security check; luggage is x-rayed. It is a bit simpler than the London-Paris/Brussels check, as it isn't combined with a passport check.
(And also in China, though there they also have similar checks at some metro and other railway stations.)
- philjohn 3y agoIsn't that because of the Madrid bombings? Makes sense when taken in that context.

- harperlee 3y agoI know France and Germany don't do it, as another data point.
- prmoustache 3y agoIt is usually a very quick check, I never had to wait in line for that and you don't have to remove anything from the bag. Also bus lines in mexico do similar checks.
