The Eurostar and TGV trains do some basic security (metal detectors) now. I'm not sure if the TGV does it on all routes all the time, but I definitely remember it from Geneva to Paris in 2005 and Marseilles to somewhere in 2007.

(I think metal detectors are pointless, since there is no intrinsic value in blowing up a high-speed train. A terrorist will just go for the subway instead, where security measures will be too intrusive. Oh well, everyone loves their security theater.)
