"Travellers who don’t use digital travel credentials must not be discriminated against. This condition includes that border controls for travellers with physical documents must be equally accessible and sufficiently staffed to enable travel checks in a reasonable amount of time."

Is it a reasonable amount of time today? If digital documents allows someone else to go faster is that discrimination?



It's not, my RFID chip in my passport broke, and I couldn't use the automatic border control in Spain, making me almost miss my flight because they were severely understaffed. I waited for 2h, while the automatic checks were ~5 minutes.
