- rsynnott 2y agoI think this is literally _just_ Spain, isn't it? Can't think of anywhere else that does it routinely.

- devilbunny 2y agoEurostar trains had security checks ~10 years ago. Not sure about now but I can't imagine they've stopped.
- bobthepanda 2y agoChina also has security checks, I believe.
- MisterSandman 2y agoCanada doesn’t have high speed trains AND does insane security checks and luggage weigh-ins before you get on their trains. Worst of both worlds.
- jesterson 2y agoChina does. Singapore does spot checks for MRT.
- patmcc 2y agoDo they think you're going to hijack the train?
- kube-system 2y agoThat's one of the possible attack vectors. It happens.
- lentil_soup 2y agoIt's because of the 2004 terrorist attack in a Madrid train https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Madrid_train_bombings https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Madrid_train_bombings
