Air Travellers Face New Eu Snooper Law

Feb 24 2008

PASSENGERS travelling on domestic flights or between European Union countries could have to hand over up to 19 pieces of information on check-in.

These would include their credit card details and mobile phone number.

The proposal is revealed in a leaked draft of EU anti-terror plans that would cover every air passenger in EU countries, plus sea and rail travel.

MEP Sarah Ludford said: "Where is this going to stop? There's no mature discussion of risk."
