It's coming: I rode Eurostar Paris-London recently and it has 
airline-style security (and delays).  I hopped on a Paris-Lyon TGV two 
years ago with 30 seconds to go before (scheduled and actual) departure 
time and we were moving before I got to my seat, but you can't do that 
on Eurostar: arrive an hour before scheduled departure to make sure you 
get through security okay.
