To Go to Europe, You Surrender Fingerprints & Facial Biometrics

Sentinel is reprinting this article from September in case you missed it. If you want to travel in the EU, you first need to get an ETIA. The ETIAS is an entry requirement for visitors from 59 countries, including the U.S., to travel to 30 EU countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. You can apply online and approval time takes as quickly as minutes to a few days. Then, you need a border pass (EES) which requires you to give up your fingerprints and pose for facial recognition. They are talking about checking social media. The information is only collected once and is stored for 30 years. This is the EU that let millions of unvetted radical aliens pour into their countries.

Original Story, September 29

Travelers from the U.S. won’t need a travel permit to enter the EU this year after all. This announcement is more than just bureaucratic delay. They could be making it worse. They will demand Americans surrender fingerprints, facial images and biometric data to travel to about 30 EU countries.

European vacation destinations will soon require travelers to have fingerprints taken as well as photos upon arrival. All data will be saved for 30 years.

France, Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom and 25 other countries will begin implementing the new Entry/Exit System (EES) on Oct. 12 over the course of about six months. It includes four non-EU members: Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.

“These European countries will introduce the different elements of the EES in phases, including the collection of biometric data, such as facial image and fingerprints,” the European Union’s (EU) website notes.

“This means that biometric data (facial image and fingerprints) might not be collected at every border crossing point right away, and their personal information may not be registered in the system,” it continued.

It puts our data at great risk of being stolen.  It also could replace the US passport and puts us on the path to a global passport.

Travelers’ passports will continue to be stamped as usual, according to the EU.

Ross Bennett-Cook, a visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster, recently said carbon passports could become a reality at some point, according to BelfastLive.

Carbon passports would allocate a personal annual carbon allowance for United Kingdom residents.

Will the EU have their hands in controlling American travel? Meanwhile, they are letting millions of unvetted Third World people to pour into the country.
