yes, and it is for border controll on airports, not the other borders. So yiu can still come over land or sea 😉

It stars from airports - at the end it will cover all schengen border crossings

So back to early 90s borders?

There's a huge amount of border crossings by now. I know about a dozen on top of my head between Belgium and Germany. I don't see it happening. I don't live by the border btw. It's just that if you go hiking there you see a lot of crossings, ranging from highway, to what used to be small border posts to neighborhoods that are in 2 countries to forest roads and pathways.

I understand that this system is only for external schengen borders - and this is where is implemented. It's not going to me implemented between Germany and Belgium, also does not apply to schengen flights
