We had a few train incidents in Europe and security hasn't been increased. They mostly handle that by more police at stations and in trains. The only train with heavy security is the Eurostar because it uses the Channel tunnel which is at higher risk.

Blowing up a train somewhere is not more dangerous than blowing up a car in the middle of a motorway.

We've got companies in the US who have some fancy security theater machines to sell.

Well, in France, it's the military that's deployed in the train station, since quite some time. And the number deployed has increased since the 2015 attacks.
