I'm off to Norway this summer - the UKgov website says I only need my passport, no mention of APPS or other nonsense - so what is all the fuss about?

It took me 35 minutes to get through border checks at Almeria.
Not too long but it was badly organised with only 6 of the 12 machines operating and only 4 of the exit gates in operation.
They created a bottle neck after the finger print scan with everyone held up at the exit gates blocking the finger print scan.
It'll be carnage at a big airport.

Sums the EU up really well
It’s not even fully live yet and Greece has already dumped it

Unlike Brexit
The (ever heaving) Faro - In and out last week.
All the EES machines were roped off and not in use. In and out was exactly how it always has been at Faro.
I had filled in the 'Travel to Europe' app* which should aid passage through the EES system but, for obvious reasons, this was a waste of time.
*Currently set up to only work in Portugal and Sweden.

The fuss is because there are too many bed wetters in the world.
It’s as if the RAF Regiment are running the country
HaHa
The system, where introduced, is - in some instances - failing, resulting in bloody great queues of those (non-EU passport holders) being greatly inconvenienced, whilst their EU passport carrying neighbours move in and out without undue delay. The only vaguely satisfying aspect is that at least some (perhaps many, who knows) of those inconvenienced most, will have voted to leave the EU and, as such, lobbed themselves into their self-made pool of misery
I believe that is known as schadenfreude.

Feedback from Paris CDG and Amsterdam AMS.
Both fully operational and working well.
AMS also working for Schengen transfers - again working well and the queue on Monday morning at 0815 was significantly shorter than normal.

Florence airport yesterday. 20 minute queue. No fuss. Worked fine. I am now fingerprinted and photographed, for whatever that’s worth…
If it does, you’ll be laughing with an EU passport. Fat Bob from Preston, sweating in arrivals in August and busting for a piss (but can’t leave the queue) might not be so sanguine…. But hey, the fecking Poles are gone and the flags (many now ragged and most at about half mast) are flying…..
Anyone taken their bike to Spain on Brittany Ferries since the EES came in?
It was bad enough getting in/out of Santander before but after seeing the chaos with people missing flights recently I wondered just how bad it might be...
