Are Americans the only non-EU nationals that have to go through EES biometrics when traveling into EU/Schengen zone? I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
Now, I wouldn't be surprised if many Americans don't know we've been doing this to non-US nationals visiting the US for years via our US-VISIT program.
Americans are the only ones who fly to American cities without getting scanned... Because it's an internal flight.
I don't think there's a corner left in the industrialized world where you can go through passport control at the airport without getting your face scanned. At least as a foreigner.
