To be perfectly blunt I would rather deal with machines than the US border Gestapo. Anywhere else my Dutch passport and white skin gets me through in a blink.

I hated the automated border check at CDG airport into Paris - you walk into a glass box that closes behind you until the machine can verify your identity. It felt so much more hostile than walking up to a counter, even if legally and practically i can’t go anywhere else

This is like mandating use of horse and buggy transportation after the automobile came out
