Abstract
The construction of new wire fences in South-Eastern Europe has been one of the most dramatic scenes of the so-called migration crisis. Yet migrants who seek protection, but also regular travelers who need a visa for the EU, are mostly controlled by data transfers and databases than physical obstacles. These databases are also the foundation of the wider trend towards “smart borders” that affect all our travel movements and subjection to electronic surveillance.
