There are 3 points at the end of the article which are basically demands, stated but not supported at all. Why should people who refuse to use technology be coddled? Why should we blindly refuse all change?
If they have an actual objection, they should make it. Anything else is just opposition for its own sake.
The points:
>Travellers must not be forced to use digital travel credentials. The possibility of using physical travel documents must be guaranteed permanently and not just for the “near future”, as the European Commission is proposing.
>Travellers who don’t use digital travel credentials must not be discriminated against. This condition includes that border controls for travellers with physical documents must be equally accessible and sufficiently staffed to enable travel checks in a reasonable amount of time.
>Travellers who don’t use digital travel credentials must not, under any circumstances, be affected by the border control technologies required for checking digital travel credentials. Policy options “where all travellers are monitored and their biometric data are processed”, as the European Commission is considering, must be ruled out.
