-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via UPI. [snip] The European Parliament says the EU Commission and member states have overreached in their reaction to terrorism, endangering citizens' privacy and rights. In a broad-ranging resolution this week, the Parliament opposed the establishment of a European air passenger personal data system like the one run in America by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The resolution, passed Wednesday 359-293 with 38 abstentions, called any form of profiling or data-mining in EU counter-terrorism measures "unacceptable." It expressed concern about the growing use of existing EU immigration databases, including one of asylum-seekers, for counter-terrorism purposes; and about the European Commission's proposal to collect Passenger Name Records from the airlines as the United States and Canada currently do.
