Nope, never crossed any 'new' border. But just the other day I was on a night train from Basel to Copenhagen and at the German-Danish border, at 06h30 or some suchlike ungodly hour the door was wrested open, and a demand for passports was issued. I, still partly asleep, and certainly not happy about having been so brutally awakened, crankely barked back: "Don't we have some treaty about this? Maybe an EU directive as well, prohibiting the waking of sleeping passengers before dawn? What is this? A fascist state? Papers, please? At this hour?" The passport guy went away, identification documents unseen. I fell back asleep.

Maybe this Schengen thing is a bit of a joke? Or, at least not enough to prevent the undue hassling of sleeping folks? Maybe the border people just have to be reminded of the open borders thing from time to time? I have no idea what that was all about!
