Isn't that an equivocation/conflation of differently bad things? Shouldn't border control optimize risk management based primarily on wise human intelligence on-the-ground supported by reliable or at least reliability-qualified data that doesn't hassle people any more than is absolutely necessary? For example, in the US (not the EU), the number of secret databases and watch lists that feed into current border control decision-making is absolutely frightening (per whistleblower revelations).
