No, tourists are good people who keep money coming into our country.

Our people, though, indeed are subject to such searches. They have a right, indeed a duty, for the Prince to know everything that they would keep private.

Tourists are not allowed to enter the Supreme Truth, and Citizens are not allowed to leave the Supreme Truth, thus there is no need for such procedures.

Yes, we do body scans, especially if the security guards are involved are male Reptiles and the person or persons being scanned are female Reptiles.

Everybody entering the country is subject to body scans, emptying their pockets and having their luggage scanned and/or inspected. If any weapons are found, the culprit may request to be interrogated or he/she may be summarily deported.

Fatatatutians don't object to these measure because they seldom leave the country anyway (and they usually go barefoot).

Once inside the country, there are no security measures.

Airport security in Swilatia is done with metal detectors, as they work perfectly fine for finding actual security threats. Body scanners are illegal.

We definitely don't have security checkpoints at our railway stations, as you can't really hijack a train.

Yes, we use a barcode system to keep track of where our citizens go and what purchases they make, we also use it to store medical records and rap sheets for the police.

Standard procedure is just a metal detector at airports, and nothing for other means of transportation. If the metal detector reads a positive, they are asked to be patted down, if they refuse, they will not be arrested, but will not be allowed to board their plane.

The dead cannot bring anything past the limit of 10 items from their life, which when copied is here waiting for them (A living thing does not count as if they are dead they are already here waiting) anyways we (The Reapers) cannot die by spirit hands.

Airport security is done with metal detectors, as they work perfectly fine for finding actual security threats. Body scanners are being tested and are voluntary to take part: however the rollout has been suspended until privacy and time efficiency concerns are addressed.

Well, since ponies normally don't wear clothes, and horseshoes aren't readily removable, the only thing that usually needs searching at one of our checkpoints would be saddlebags. Fortunately, Her Divine Majesty's border guards have specially trained unicorns who can magically scan bags and parcels and determine their contents without having to open them.

We don't scan or otherwise search anyone coming in. It's expected that anyone entering this nation will be armed. Only a nut would step foot in our territory without any weapons.

We have a system of mandatory security inspections that are based on a combination of a document check and inspection. A cat is employed to sniff-search all packages and humans, and strip searches by those of the same species and sex are authorized when a sniff search is positive. Pat-downs are also randomly completed, and metal detectors are used at airports.

Disskord operates a very strict border security system. Upon entering the gate, you are (quite literally) stripped of everything you have, and your body is scanned for any suspicious material and subjected to an extremely thorough search by hand. You are given a meal replacement bar, then undergo an interrogation session for the next six hours. If you check out, you're given a new set of clothes with the bullet holes neatly patched up, and thrown into the city with a sign glued to your back saying, 'Hi, I'm new.'

If you manage to survive the first twenty-four hours after that, you might have a shot at eking out a modest survival. Most people just end up with new bullet holes in their clothes.
