EU Agrees to Give Passenger Data to U.S.
de la mettrie writes "The EU Commission has agreed in principle to make airlines provide U.S. Homeland Security with detailed passenger data for flights to the USA. Things Uncle Sam would like to know about passengers include their itinerary, their credit card number and whether or not they asked for a meal without pork. The data are supposed to help prevent terror attacks and are to be 'handled appropriately'." The U.S. is collecting the data for a massive passenger database, intended to increase passenger profiling.
This homeland defense nonsense is getting way out of control. The sooner that idiot bush and his minions are out of office, the better.
When all else fails, run.
You Jewish?
-No I just don't dig on swine.
Then I have no further questions regarding your meal decision
And any ballistic missiles too.
In fact seal them in a big bubble so their Kyoto-protocol-breaking factories don't damage the ozone layer anymore. Leave them to it and perhaps us in the rest of the world can stop going mad and starting wars for peace, working on new and more exciting mini nuclear weapons (FFS!), and stop ruling that drug companies don't have to allow cheap licenced production of life-saving drugs to 3rd world countries.
A tyrannical, unelected despot who's admitted to developing Weapons Of Mass Destruction? It's the Smirking Chimp.
They know my schedule, my name, address, credit history, SSN (on my passport anyways), my food prefrences, and nationality....
That's just silly. It doesn't matter what they know about me, I could still get myself on a plane and kill all the motherfuckers on it. This makes the flight safer how? Grr..
I am a viral sig. Please help me spread.
Show your support for the fourth reich with this lovely blue sticker. I've got one!

"Remember when the U.S. had a drug problem, and then we declared a War On Drugs, and now you can't buy drugs anymore?"
"I can't stand pork. Therefore I must be a terrorist!
I swear, this country is tearing itself apart with self-induced paranoia."
Blame the author of this article. The word 'pork' does not show up in any of the articles mentioned. What you have here is a blantant attempt at riling people up.
and if they are the least bit suspicious of your purpose here. I don't care if they let John Ashcroft personally ride next to you with his un-gloved hand rammed in your rear!
Welcome to America 2.0 people.
I will never go in such police-state as the US. Dear god, not 5 years ago they were all mockinh the UdSSR for being a police state but it looks that they are on the bad to worse slide themselves.

I think much of the rest of the world is jealous. If terrorist states and organizations would leave us alone....we would leave them alone. I don't think we in the US really notice or care what the rest of the world wants to do....we'd be more 'live and let live' if they would leave US alone. But, for some reason...weird religion, etc...can't stand that we have freedoms here, to work, and have a high standard of living that for some reason, they were not able to develop in their civilization/country. And rather than try to work for themselves, they'd rather the US become weak, fall, and come down to the level they live at...Personally, I have nothing against anyone in any country in the world, that is not trying to fsuck with us. I don't have time to go out of my way to hate another country or its people, I'm plenty busy working hard, and earning a good living so I can do what I want to do with my free time....I just want to work, and have a fun life...and have my gov. and other countries leave me alone...

Hey, you don't see me or any other US people hijacking planes and killing 3000 innocent people in other countries! You don't see us up walking into crowded shopping malls and blowing ourselves up and taking as many as we can with us. No, we really don't give a damn about the others in the world, we're too busy enjoying our lives we create. Yes, I do believe they want to bring us down...when they say in their jihad messages, that they won't be finished will the great satan is gone, and the world is one happy muslim state...I believe that is exactly what they want to do. We didn't start this crap....but, I got a feeling we're gonna finish it. As a matter of fact, I think we've shown a great deal of restraint so far in all this mess. We do have the capability to obliterate large parts of the earth...after 9/11 we could have rained hell down on much of the earth just to hit the few that are evil and want to hurt us...but, we didn't. But, we are methodically, and as surgincally as possible, removing the people and organizations that hit us....and those who would help those who would hurt us.
