With the arrival of the high season and the implementation of the new EES (Entry/Exit System) still causing some delays at borders, the European Union has launched an application that allows you to pre-register your data up to 72 hours before travelling.

      Fully open and unchecked borders are not only unpopular, they are a massive security and economic risk.

        So is Open Source Software. No reason not to fight for it.

        massive security and economic risk.

        I would argue, the way we - as Europe - treat people coming here is a massive security and economic risk. Increasing border"security" makes it harder for people that are not taught how to dodge the system. It however does not change much for people that have a high criminal interest - for example they learn how to dodge border control.

        So my point: The way we do it right now is fatal. Changing it in the direction of more humanity is a risk worth taking.
