Everyone disembarking would need to have fingerprints and retinal scans in addition to passport checks.
So, I Googled this and found this treat for people visiting the EU:
The new scheme is called the Entry/Exit System (EES). lt is an automated IT system that will register any non-EU nationals travelling visiting European Union member states. Travellers will need to go through the system every time they cross an EU external border, both when entering and leaving the country. Your data will be registered electronically and kept on file.
According to the European Commission website, EES will register each individual’s name, travel document and biometric data – so you’ll have to provide fingerprint scans and it will take a photo of your face. It will then document the date and place of entry and exit.
Apparently the UK had a system called that took fingerprints and scanned your iris in lieu of you presenting your passport from 2004-2013 but scrapped it. I'm not sure what replaced it.
I guess I'm never visiting Europe again, but the US is right behind. We already do this same shit to foreigners visiting and TSA is now asking that you let them take a picture of your face on domestic flights. You can opt out, but for how long? Then there's this: https://fee.org/articles/welcome-aboard-but-first-us-marshals-will-scan-your-retina/
