I think this is literally _just_ Spain, isn't it? Can't think of anywhere else that does it routinely.

Eurostar trains had security checks ~10 years ago. Not sure about now but I can't imagine they've stopped.

Canada 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.
