European vacation destinations will begin requiring all travelers to have prints of their fingers taken, as well as photos, upon arrival in a new screening process.
France, Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom and 25 other countries began implementing a new Entry/Exit System (EES) on Oct. 12 — and come April 10, it will be fully enforced.
The program will be introduced "in phases," officials say.
"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 [travelers'] personal information may not be registered in the system," it continued.
Manual passport stamping is being replaced by automatic digital registration.
"As passport stamping will no longer exist once the EES is operational, carriers must use an online interface to perform these checks instead," reads the EU site.

The trouble makers ain’t tourists...the troublemakers arrive on boats and are allowed in regardless.
I gotta think hard about this one.
Will this give the authorities a faster way to identify all the Muslim rapists and murderers AFTER they have committed their evil? It is WAAAAY too late to stop the invasion and massive crime wave in Europe. Idiots ! !
I think this is just a tit for tat procedure. We hassle their tourists so they hassle our tourists and business people.
They don’t have it together. Do you think the hordes of illegals that are swarming in from Africa and other s**tholes are going to comply with this? If you do I have some ocean front property in Kansas (it’s not ocean front now, but according to AOC with global warming it will be in 4-5 years) that I can sell you at a real bargain.
If I wanted to experience traditional European culture today, I’d visit Argentina.
Absolutely not! The “migrants” will be allowed in with no vetting or documentation, just like Biden’s program. Only law abiding Americans will be tracked.
Maybe they should do that for Africans and Muslims.
Meanwhile, Canada is hosting IRCG.
Wonder if the UK is...
Europe has their shiite together?
Say what??
This is about revenge towards America!
Great reason to use to avoid going there!
Never really wanted too, but the wife does. Might get me off the hook🙏
They are identifying Americans, not the millions of Africans coming in.
Do they do that to the people coming over in boats?
If I wanted to experience traditional European culture today, I’d visit Argentina.
But voter ID is a no go here? Interesting indeed.
Normal travelers like us get Orwellian security, while terrorists get open borders.
The “immigrant” mayhem is facilitated by the Left as an excuse for totalitarian surveillance.
The Left causes crime to be so bad that people beg to have their freedoms removed for a little security.
This will not apply to rapefugees, burka clad Muslims, or other assorted turds entering these countries.
“If you hold a passport from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, etc., and you’re entering the Schengen zone, you will be subject to EES checks.”
Boat people and those sneaking in will still be welcomed with open arms to deposit their diversity anywhere they want.
What does Trump have to do to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention?
Send (or hand deliver) the Secretary-General of the United Nations a letter!
****
Dear Secretary-General of the United Nations:
I, Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, on behalf of the United States, do denounce the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as permitted by Article 44.
Donald J. Trump
