Default Complete (almost) Shutdown of Berlin Train System - could it happen here...??

In uk.railway Arthur Figgis twisted the electrons to say:
There is tight security on the bits of Spain physically situated in
Africa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melilla_border_fence


Ah, yes ... The wonderfully inconsistent part of Spanish policy! It's
only wrong for a country to have an exclave within another country if the
second country is Spain?

But I stand corrected on the mines issue ...

The Finnish border had a cleared strip and fences when I passed, I
suspect there might be tight security there?


Presumably that the Finnish-Russian border? Or do the same conditions
apply at the Finnish-Norwegian one too? (Honest question, I could see
reasons why it could be either way now I think about it.)

These opinions might not even be mine ...
Let alone connected with my employer ...
