Every country should have rights to control what enters their borders. Be it phones or people. Nothing unreasonable here considering the existing standards of border control around the world. Just next logical step to prevent terrorism and undesirable activities. Don't like it, don't go.
One has to wonder, if Qatar is so afraid of terrorists and undesirables coming into them from abroad that they feel the need to have as much control as possible over their personal data and communications, why did Qatar want to host a global event in the first place?
You’re gonna get downvoted but I don’t think you’re altogether wrong. If the World Cup gets hit by extremists, Qatar’s reputation will be hit harder than anything else.
Who now blames anyone but Germany and its incompetence for Black September’s actions in the 1972 Munich Olympics?
I have never heard anyone blame the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack on the Federal Republic of Germany's lack of authoritarian state surveillance powers, their lack of motivation to keep track of the exact location of every foreign person in the country, nor on the fact that they did not require every single visitor to surrender the contents of all their personal documents for potential state scanning.
