Episode Details

Australians traveling to Europe will now face fingerprinting and facial scanning at borders due to the EUs new Entry Exit System. This digital system, which began rolling out last year, has already sent over 25,000 travelers back for issues with their documents. The system, which shares data across countries, is part of a global trend towards increased traveler surveillance in uncertain times. Aussies can expect longer lines at airports and borders, with children under twelve only needing a face scan. Later this year, an additional layer called ETIAS will require online entry approval before flying.
