Will be interesting to see how this spans and plays out in reality. Looks promising too, did a quick scan of their builtin permissions and trackers and looks good too. (Scanning tool is called Exodus)
Because it's border free travel for EU citizens. It's still another country you enter, as of course, there are rules.
They stop you to check. You obviously pass through.
Also, there's still illegal import rules.
It's still schengen rules, so if you take a train the likelihood of being stopped at the border is pretty low. Austria may have border agents board the train and verify passports, but that's still pretty uncommon in Europe.
