US demands air travellers' data
Article about a deal between the
European Commission and the US under
which European air carriers will be compelled to hand over passenger
information, including personal information such as dietary requirements
and credit card numbers, to US government agencies - 'The agreement
bypasses European safeguards on the use of personal data, which require
states to make clear for what purpose private information is being held
and to whom it can be passed on, and give citizens a right of appeal' (
Guardian )
