15% of Brits may reconsider trips to continental Europe due to new EU border checks, starting October 6. The Entry/Exit System (EES) aims to improve border security, requiring non-EU travellers, including the UK, to have their fingerprints scanned and a photo taken for database registration. Concerns include potential long queues at major UK exit points like Dover Port, Folkestone Eurotunnel terminal, and St Pancras station.
