They can now dress as civilians and come to Europe to practice shooting people, driving them over or bombing places. Open the borders because we need an open, politically correct society.

The Taliban may have seized biometric data that can ID US allies in Afghanistan
The data was used to track terrorists in Afghanistan, but civilians were in the system, too
As The Intercept notes, the collection of biometric data was primarily billed as a military project , but Afghan civilians who worked for US embassies and the broader coalition government were reportedly also included in the database. The biometric information that could be on file for those people varies: the Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE) used by the military collects everything from iris scans to fingerprints, along with identifying biographical information, according to the sources The Intercept spoke to. Those devices are now reportedly in the Taliban’s possession.There’s some conflicting information on whether the Taliban can actually access and take action with the information that’s been collected, however. “The Taliban doesn’t have the gear to use the data,” a former Army Special Operations official told The Intercept. Accessing the biometric data that’s been collected might then fall to others, like Pakistan’s intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence. According to Reuters, local reports said the Taliban has used government biometric data in the last five years to “target members of the security forces, checking their fingerprints against a database,” which only clouds things further.
White House believes that the Taliban won't return US weapons that it captured from Afghan forces, National Security Advisor (NSA) Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday.Sullivan added that the Biden administration believes that a "fair amount" of the weapons that the US gave to Afghanistan are in the possession of the Taliban, and they don't expect they will be returned to the US."We don't have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defence materials has gone but certainly, a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, and obviously, we don't have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport," he added. I imagine Trump’s head hearing these comments

Duchess of Cornwall
blush.An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.'It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,' the source said. 'Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it.'
