Most of these temporary restrictions appear to be aimed against smuggling and organised crime and only at specific land borders. None of them seem to apply to any airports (judging from your linked source at least). It is also something that has been ongoing for a longer period and seems to have little or no impact on airports so far. So I suppose there is little to discuss.
But in the case of a hypothetical reinstatement at airports... Same result as during COVID I suppose. Instead of funneling pax exiting the aircraft into the Schengen area, you get funneled into the non-Shengen area?
