EU to force travellers to hand over biometric data to enter

[Hol]

Travellers heading to Europe will soon face a mandatory handover of biometric data under sweeping new security measures.

Beginning 12 October 2025, the European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) will require non-EU nationals entering or leaving the Schengen area to provide fingerprints and facial recognition images.

Authorities say the system is designed to crack down on terrorism, human trafficking, illegal migration and racial profiling, however freedom advocates have voiced concern over the collection and centralised management of biometric data.

Oh it's coming here also, maybe it's already here. The last time I went to St. Louis' Lambert International Airport to escort my granddaughter to her terminal to fly home, they made me do a facial scan to go back there to see her off.

If you had a passport or real ID, they weren't supposed to do that. That was part of the deal when real ID was started in Missouri.
Unfortunately, once collected, the information can't be recalled

Another step toward MOB.
