Not to be argumentative Marie but think what you're
saying...security has been tightened all over (including your
country) hasn't it?...
When I go to mainland Europe, I go by car and ferry.
My passport is checked, but that is all, and that is only because the UK is
not a Schengen country.
Once I get to the European mainland, I can drive all through the EU with no
more checks at all. The borders are not manned. You have to slow down a
bit to drive through, but I have never been stopped and I have never seen
anyone actually in the border buildings or anywhere to be seen.
So the hassle just does not exist.
