I’ve been regularly crossing schengen borders using fake documents since this whole nonsense started. Most of these papers are impossible to authenticate. Sure, these QR-codes will have cryptographic signatures, so we’ll just switch to foreign certificates instead.

Why would it be dumb to use fake documents when it’s literally impossible to get caught?

I can safely discuss this on the internet too, it’s not like anyone took photocopies of the documents I showed them.

FWIW I’m not some antivaxxer nutjob, I’m happy to wear masks and self isolate when I’m sick. I’m just going to fight the surveillance state in any way I can.

This is actually not correct. Many EU citizens do not have SIS entries but are still able to travel. This is likely to change in the future though.

Why would you do that? Unless you're pulling some dodgy shit there is really no reason for this and frankly, I don't believe you.

Huh? Of course you don't have an entry in the SIS if there's no reason to be entered. SIS is not a directory about every resident in the Schengen area, let alone the whole world. If you do have an entry, however (dpending on its contents) you can be damn sure that you're in for an extended interview with border authorities.

Because I like to travel regardless of government restrictions? Is that “dodgy shit”?

I just brought a friend who is a Russian citizen to France with documents showing that she had a car booked to transfer her to Switzerland for surgery.

Right now anyone entering the UK from certain countries needs documents to show that they’re in “transit” to avoid quarantines.

My bad, I misunderstood what you were saying.

Yes.

HTH!
