"between France and Italy": I've gone through the Mont Blanc tunnel in December and a couple of days ago, and I've seen very little evidence of this. (But, in the earlier days of Schengen I experienced several very regular-looking checks on international trains; typically officers asked to see IDs only of darker-skinned people, but the first time, traveling from the Netherlands into Germany, I was in a compartment with a dreadlocked and heavily pierced Polish woman whose bag was emptied by the German officer before he asked whether she had drugs, to which she of course replied "no.")

@phoog Also didn't see any checks on the Petit Saint-Bernard last summer but every single time crossing by train and read multiple reports about this (mostly further south, especially in the Alpes Maritimes). I also remember a very funny TV broadcast in 2015 or 2016 where the local police commander explained that they are increasing the checks and the préfet thought it was important to add "non-systematic, non-systematic".
