This practice strongly reminds me of what the former East German communist border regime did with people. Arbitrarily detaining travellers to demonstrate their power.

And also, I haven't seen such a prison-like border crossing anywhere in Europe since the wall came down. Heavens, even barbed wire...
And even when I was a kid, and there were armed border guards at some crossings between France and Germany due to terrorist attacks of the Red Army Fraction in the 70s, I have never seen anything like that. And that is between two nations who were friends, at least until recently?
