Prior to WWI you could travel wherever you wanted with no papers, no passports, no visas.

It was a time of total freedom of movement that is unheard of today. People went where they wished and stayed as long as they pleased.

Stay out of the EU & UK, the wrong post can be used against you.
WWII in Europe was a waste, never again. In fact their culture might survive if Putin were to take over from the US' position of puppet master.

I’m glad I completed all my European travel over 20 years ago. I still need to do the Alps but I may just do Andes.

You really are a special kind of stupid. You mean my passport is no longer sufficient ID?

God you are ignorant beyond belief.

Who said that? Not me. It identifies you. It doesn't tell anyone anything else beyond where and when you entered the relevant place, and when you left. Or at least when someone stamped it. They can also be faked. I won't clutch my pearls over higher border security, wherever it is practiced.

If you used Touch ID once, ever, every sophisticated nation on earth has your fingerprint. Same with Face ID and your facial signature. Can most of them use it against you? No, because most places have some level of due process on such things. But to think they and their intel agencies don't have it is laughable.

And yet I assume you dislike the socialist lean of both of those nations, no?

I'm not advocating for reparations or any of that stupid shite. Just commenting that the slave system in the colonies and early US enabled the country to exist on its own economically. We would not have prospered as quickly or as independently without it. Remember that our founding fathers were only founding fathers because they were largely rich dudes from Virginia.

You're right. We should just all kowtow and accept our overlords dominion over us plebs.

This isn't a big deal. Silly for us to think this is anything out of the ordinary.

OP, just dress like a MOOSLUM & cross the border on foot, maybe thru N. Africa.

you’ll get the VIP Tourist Package that comes with a personal machete in case you want to slice up some European Crackers.

frick this world!!!

the irony of a Tranny and Pedo supporter that cannot decipher the difference between an American Tourist (with a legit Passport etc)!

versus an ex-Con with no papers & tats on his neck & face crossing our open border with no checks and balances.

YOU are A COCKSUCKING IMBECILE, Clown POS!

Them doing this makes perfect sense.

“This American posted something that’s against our laws on misinformation, he’s now here so we can arrest him”

They aren’t doing this for any good reason, just making you easier to find when your fingerprints flag you in their database.

Well Chuckles, the word is that at least initially, this mess could double the time Americans spend in EU customs/tourist entry portals. With tighter negotiations and policy, those delays could have potentially been avoided for US travelers. Funny stuff, eh?

You're an idiot and completely missed the point. It'll probably take you a long time to figure it out.

The fingerprinting doesn’t bother me. I am one of the small percentage of people who have no fingerprints. They would have to use a special camera to get them. They are visible to the naked eye if you look very very closely but non of the old or new methods can record them.

All the other EU bs and laws against God given Rights killed any interest in foreign travel for me. Nothing there is worth the cost potentially especially in this age of virtualities where you don’t have to leave your living room to tour the sights.

Would it be ok if it wasn't an ex-con and no tats?
