Meanwhile, border security looks like this:

[Snickersnee]

Hullo; Ministry of Silly Walks here... you want what?

[wastedyears]

They’ve already overstepped their bounds.

[Clint Williams]

Yup. And wait until other contries collecting biometrics of visitors to their countries (such as Japan) agree to exchanges with the U.S.

But there's no danger in this, of course, right?

[festus]

Well the dental records will be of no use.

[Does so]

"... Barry Steinhardt of the American Civil Liberties Union said: 'It's enabling the always-on surveillance society'..."

Something like "Vigilance"?

[Rikstir]

Shocking breach once again of my human rights. What right does any foreign government have to my personal information, that they are just going to sell on for a bit of profit?

A few years back I flew to US and found out later on that US had collected 20 separate pieces of information on me. Bank details, D.O.B, favourite colour, orientation etc...

Its a Big Brother world and in it my rights don’t amount to a hill of beans.

Right my Auntie's visiting family are potential terrorists but those criminals coming across the southern border are not. That aside for the moment this is scary. "British intelligence agencies and police will also be able to access the information – giving them potentially more biometric data on British citizens than the Government collects at home." How long before Britain makes the same demand on US citizens entering their country and shares the info with our government? What an easy end run around our laws preventing this sort of thing by our own government.
