EU Plans to Require Biometrics for Visitors
bushwhacker2000 writes to tell us that the EU may soon be requiring travelers to provide biometric data before crossing into Europe. They are trying to soften the blow by offering "streamlined" services for frequent travelers but the end result seems the same. "The proposals, contained in draft documents examined by the International Herald Tribune and scheduled to go to the European Commission on Wednesday, were designed to bring the EU visa regime into line with a new era in which passports include biometric data. The commission, the EU executive, argues that migratory pressure, organized crime and terrorism are obvious challenges to the Union and that the bloc's border and visa policy needs to be brought up to date."

They can't keep their airports clean. They can't keep their roads paved - I certainly don't expect potholes the width of the road in a first-world country, and certainly not on major highways!

so, I'm just checking here,
is it ok to start shooting the bastards now?
Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little.
