The British Government unveiled plans last week to take up to 53 pieces of information from anyone entering or leaving Britain. For every trip, security officials will want credit card details, vacation contact numbers, travel plans, email addresses, car numbers and even any previous missed flights. The information, taken when a ticket is bought, will be shared among police, customs, immigration and the security services for at least 24 hours before a trip is due to take place. Anybody about whom the authorities are dubious can be turned away when they arrive at the airport or station with their baggage. If this proves successful, can we be far behind? Since our government is not allowed to spy on its own citizens, can this be a way we let Britain do it for us? Will this cause tourism to suffer in Great Britain? Will Heathrow loose airline business to other European hubs-especially for connecting flight?
