YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A new EU system is replacing passport stamps with biometric border checks. But as peak travel season kicks in, many airports are buckling under the pressure. Some passengers are waiting for hours, others are missing flights. Data rights critics question whether this new EU entry/exit biometric database is secure against cyber security threats.

DW speaks to Raphael Bossong, researcher at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, about the new digital border check system and if it poses the risk of digital function creep.
