It's a tax. We have done the same under the guise of security, but i've seen first hand how easy it is to get around.
I've been to three different countries since implementation and not had any checks done. Juxt controls and smaller ports will have a lot of problems with queues. Airports have have planes leave half empty due to this, hence why Greece have turned round and said they aren't going to do any checks full stop (theres a surprise)
It's a massive cluster.

That's not communism, it's the EU protecting their borders.

New EU biometric border checks due to be rolled out at the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel next month have been delayed again.
British passengers were due to start having their photo and fingerprints taken from 10 April to be allowed to enter France.
But the authorities there say they are having ongoing technical issues with the new Entry/Exit system (EES).
In a statement, LeShuttle said: "Full biometric checks will be introduced once we receive the formal go-ahead, with the rollout carefully scheduled and coordinated."
A spokesperson for the Port of Dover says they are "waiting until current issues with the French technology are resolved and thorough testing at Dover has been conducted".

Nice one vossy. I know what and where it is now . They constructed a large building near the entry to the terminal last year .
They will have you drive through that prior to going through passport control

So what's the implications going to be for people travelling on the euro tunnel ?
I have had a little read and it seems they will need a fingerprint . They may request this before travel or if not I guess they will take it at Folkestone . Potentially a digital fingerprint reader ?
I'm worried it's going to cause issues and delays
