Agreement between the U.S. and EU counter-terrorism
"Access to e-mail and credit cards"
LONDON - The U.S. Secret Service will be able to put his nose into the e-mail and Credit card transactions of European passengers who are in the United States. The Daily Telegraph reveals the terms of an anti-terrorism agreement signed between the U.S. and the European Union. Providing the number of credit card and e-mail to the airline, the passenger will in fact their personal data to authorities American, which will see all transactions or messages, whether or not related to the trip.
The British newspaper obtained the documents from the Department of Transport, thanks to the law on freedom of information. After a long tug of war and the threat to ban airlines that do not cooperate, the U.S. has pulled in October the signing of the EU. Score: Washington will have access to 34 types of passenger information. Many are normal, but some are particularly sensitive about the kind of meals are ordered according to religion, or if a passenger in the past has not been presented to the flight after buying the ticket.
For U.S. law, anyone who wants avere accesso a questi dati ha bisogno di norma del consenso di un magistrato, ma questo non varrà per i passeggeri degli aerei europei. Cosa che ha fatto gridare allo scandalo le associazioni per le libertà civili. "La misura è unilaterale", spiegano i contrari dell'accordo. "Washington si è solo limitata a promettere di incoraggiare le aerolinee americane a fare lo stesso con i paesi europei ma non li ha obbligate. Il ministero per la sicurezza nazionale americano ha detto esplicitamente che userà questi dati non solo contro il terrorismo, ma anche indagando su altri reati".

"Shami Chakrabarti, director of Human Rights Liberty, said he was" horrified "by the news:" It 's renunciation of the rights of persons traveling in the United States. "
