There are thousand ways to take the banned items with you. The size of railway and its stations, and the open areas around them all over the country are so huge that passengers don't even have to go to a station to enter a train.. They can walk around the stations and travel for free..Such iteme are not allowed in.
A strict checking at railway stations is not possible and even if there's strict checking, people will circumvent it. Airports are a different story.. There are a few airports in major cities and building a security perimeter around the airports is still easy. Passengers can only enter the plane from assigned gates.. You can't copy these controls on railway stations. On top of that, trains stop sometimes in the middle of no where because they have to give way to other trains.. people know about these spots and they enter the trains from there.. Plus, there illegal buildings/ houses built throughout the railway lines all over Pakistan. Trains move slow in those areas.. so slow that I have seen people entering trains from these areas...
Fixing all of this requires enormous amount of money.. but educating people and raising awareness doesn't. And there's no guarantee that people will not find a way to avoid the checks and controls.
A good example is that, a company enforces a strong password policy on its system that requires complex password.. but it can't stop people from sharing the password.. the only thing it can do is to send periodic awareness emails to the employees to not share their password with anyone.. even with their wives and children. But even after that, people do share the passwords...
