UK Government Plans 10-Year Database of Citizens' Travel

moderators_are_w*nke writes "The UK government is planning yet another database to track its citizens, this time keeping track of their movements in and out of the country for ten years. Just like all their other databases, this one 'is essential in the fight against crime, illegal immigration and [of course] terrorism.'" I'd be very surprised if the US is not already doing this, and just not making a point to let anyone know.

    And of course, ordinary people can have guns if they want them. It's just strictly controlled.

    Sounds like the elections they used to have in the Soviet Union. They were strictly controlled too.
