So there's no special security on shinkansen comparing to normal trains? Do you have to send your luggage for security check like with airplanes? |
I've never had luggage check while using shinkansens.
They do check your ticket though.
We also have a lot less terrorism to worry about, and no example of a bomb attack ever. Just a case of gas attack way back.
