Another vacation spot off the list:
"EU seeks data on travelers from US" by Ellen Nakashima/Washington Post November 5, 2007
WASHINGTON - American travelers' personal data would for the first time be exported to all European Union states by airline carriers flying to Europe under a proposal to be announced this week.
The data, including names, telephone numbers, credit card information, and travel itinerary, would be sent to EU member states so that they could assess passenger risk for counterterrorism purposes, according to a draft copy obtained by The Washington Post.
The European Commission proposal would allow the data to be kept for 13 years or longer if used in criminal investigations and intelligence operations. It would cover all passengers flying into and out of Europe, not just Americans.
Why would they need it for "intelligence operations?"
To FRAME PEOPLE for their BOGUS CASES?
Airlines already share data with US authorities on passengers entering the United States. A handful of countries have similar laws. The European proposal was apparently modeled after an agreement signed in July between the United States and Europe dealing with passenger data from European flights entering and leaving the United States.
Under the proposal by Franco Frattini, European commissioner for freedom, security, and justice, airlines or computerized reservation systems would send at least 19 pieces of data on each passenger to data-analysis units set up by each state. The data fields also would include e-mail addresses, names of accompanying passengers, and open ones for such special requests as meals or medical service.
He's a GLOBALIST, with an Orwellian-sounding title to boot!
And the translation?
They are going to be up your ass like a malignant polyp!
Under the proposal, no data that could reveal race, ethnicity, political opinions, religion, trade union membership, or health or sex-life information could be transmitted. Any such data that was shared would have to be deleted immediately by the data-analyzing units, the proposal says.
If you are not collecting it, why would you have it?
The proposal must be approved by all 27 EU states to become a Europe-wide law, though individual states could introduce their own programs. It would affect about 30 million people who fly from North America to Europe each year.
The move is part of an effort to combat terrorism by sharing information globally, and it is fueling concerns of loss of privacy and control over personal data.
All back to the lying fraud of "terror!"
Allison Knight, staff counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center:
"It almost becomes an arms race with one country adopting a data-gathering system without reflecting on whether or not the system is required."
The RACE to FASCISM!!!
