#1 the EU parliament said it 'notes with concern that sensitive data (ie personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, and data concerning the health or sex life of individuals) will be made available to the DHS and that these data may be used by the DHS in 'exceptional cases'.

Ummmmmmm...and who has this sensitive data to give up in the first place?

#2 I note with amusement that the isue is not the collecting and cataloging of thei 'sensitive data' but the fact that it might be given to the US...

its all ok for us to be spying on our people and colleciting this stuff, but best not give it to the americans

#5 Went to Canada (Blaine WA truck crossing) this past weekend and another US citizen joined our little group; while Mrs. RET and I were waved through, Bill was pulled over for a 'short-arm' insp: they had a complete printout of his entire police record and asked him extensively about every item on it. (his word, not mine) he said that had never happened before.

#8 Hopefully, this incovenience will scare off all the right people.

Send us your tired and downtrodden. The whiners and tranzies can stay at home. It goes without saying that you can keep your shoe bombers, Hamas fundraisers and Lebanese traditional band members that want to queu up for the port-o-let in some kind of bizarre dry run.
