Ignoring the fact that I think that the EU is on crack for agreeing to  
this (after all with the current economic situation, the US need EU  
tourists more than the EU needs to allow people to travel to the US), how  
will they get this information?

My passport will have no link to this data; and my credit cards are all  
independant of any other data source. Unless they insist on nebulous  
searches on my name - which is relatively common.

Confused?
