## Resource

The EU’s new biometric travel tracking system, EES, is crashing under summer travel pressure—causing hours-long airport queues, missed flights, and airline chaos as tech glitches disrupt millions. While the system has flagged over 1,000 security risks since launch, airlines are demanding a pause through August to fix the mess. The EU admits the problems and says it’s working with member states—but travelers are already feeling the sting of security over smooth sailing.
