no, it's also a thing in norway. but it gets better. the ticket checkout thing to leave is also automated. so you self check out, get a receipt, then walk a few steps away, and place it on the scanner yourself, and the gate opens. doesn't even check it. in fairness i think that's a pseudo theft deterrent rather than validating self check out, but still. never underestimate how cucked in strange ways norway is. they legitimately trust their government is only looking out for them.
