Fatherland to reject feral state's Schengen application

[Terpe]

I might be wrong but if they're not a Schengen country don't they have to go with passport through a border control desk therefore giving say the Germans more chance of stopping any criminal scum (of which we are led to believe 3 in 10 are)

Ah, OK.
But if a passport 'scan' detects a criminal for Germany to refuse, why not UK??
