Well i would not call that extremism...unless they check also the Reindeer's.

And yes i wish....knock on wood

EDIT: >Amnesty International carefully trying to tell them to stop.

Why has AI a problem with checking peoples on a border?

EDIT2: I really don't see anything about that on their site: https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/europe-and-central-asia...

That was some sloppy writing by me. I've edited my previous post to avoid further confusion. (It is about data traffic, not ordinary customs.)

But take it easy, in Switzerland we want to trow 12 y/o into prisons for being (potentially) a dangerous person (terrorism), not for being a criminal but being potentially one in the future (not far away from a KGB mindset if you ask me)

I presume they must have done something like actually preparing a terrorist attack right?

It’s hard to decide what to do with children in such a scenario, but I cannot imagine prison is the best solution.

>actually preparing a terrorist attack right?

For that we already have a law, planing for a crime.

But that law really just means you have sympathy or contact to potentially dangerous persons, or you speak out stuff that could be connected to "terrorism".

They even invented a new Word for that (in Germany): Gefährder (a potential dangerous person who did not broke any law...)

EDIT: Actually it look's like 12yo don't have to go to prison but have to stay at home.

Oh yes that's bad, still did no found anything about that on AI website, maybe you mean the EFF?

Couldn't find the original written answer from them but here are some details (in Norwegian):

Too late to edit but I might have misunderstood Amnesty Internationals position:

According to some politicians Amnesty International liked the proposed law as it would place restrictions on the police. (Emphasis on might as I haven't reread what Amnesty International actually wrote.)
