I once went by coach from Glasgow to Bucharest and back during the 80's to watch a football match. We had to get a transit visa for Hungary and a visitors visa for Romania. I can't remember where the crossing points were but I think the HU-RO crossing was near Arad or Oradea. Crossing from Austria to Hungary was fairly easy but crossing from Hungary to Romania was a nightmare.

Everyone on the coach had to get off at this border post (it was no bigger than a garden shed) and it must have been miles from the nearest village/town/city. It was desolate. There were armed soldiers/border guards everywhere. The coach was searched from top to bottom and we all got our bags searched as well as being 'patted down'. Once we got back on the road again it became apparent that the border guards had helped themselves to whatever took their fancy during the search. Iirc it took nealy 4 hours. No-one else crossed the border during that time either.

I've been to the US since 9/11 and the security still wasn't as stringent as getting into Romaina.
