Security checks and passenger screening for VIA is certainly not viable, nor is it necessary. Every once in a while, they call for this on Amtrak, but that's never happened, and that's in the even more paranoid US. Employee screening, securement of crucial infrastructure, and a visible security presence at major terminals is all that's reasonably needed.
There are security checks for the Eurostar in Europe, but none for other high-speed or intercity trains that I've seen in France or the Low Countries. But you'll see a visible armed police presence at major rail terminals.
