Would a fingerprint scanner stop you from travelling? New EU border scanners: face scans, fingerprints - hand over your biometrics. 🖐️😑 People are already refusing to fly. “Digital ID.” “They’re tracking us.” “I’m staying home.” Reports are emerging that many of the machines aren’t even working properly, with travellers instead going through the traditional passport-and-stamp process. Billions spent on a system that reportedly can’t even switch on. I’m not handing over my fingerprints without asking serious questions. But I’m also not letting fear of technology, broken scanners or another wave of restrictions keep me stuck indoors through another grey winter. I want sunshine, fresh air and the freedom to travel. I don’t want to spend my life being frightened of what might come next. Perhaps that’s the real control: fear itself - keeping people anxious, isolated and afraid to live. The sun is still free. For now. ☀️
