Summer Turns into Nightmare: Reactions Against Europe's New Biometric System

The European Union's new biyometric border control system is causing long queues, missed flights, and passenger inconvenience during the summer season. The system requires the collection of biometric data such as facial photos and fingerprints when entering the Schengen area. The European Commission has rejected calls to suspend the system, citing security reasons. Since April, the system has rejected the entry of 45,000 people into the Schengen area. Waiting times have reached up to five hours at some airports, and the aviation industry has requested that the system be suspended during the summer.
