Where are you located? Biometric passports needs your fingerprints since ages already.
Ages.... You young ones... (decades, yes)
Locally I am okay with it (possibly not having a choice anyway) but you got shafted post 9/11. So I was there a few times before that.
I can travel freely in the EU.
Decades is ages for most human beings 😁
I'm not an American but yeah that bs sure creeped over here after 2001.
Edit: you still need an ID (like a passport) to travel in the EU, it's just that no one cares if you don't take the plane or go to sweden.
You can go from Portugal to Poland with your country's ID... And don't be required to show it anywhere.
