UK signs deal to share police biometric database with US border guards
The UK has signed up to a US plan for sharing police-held biometric data about citizens with US border officials.
They come under the auspices of the Enhanced Border Security Partnership , which is designed to increase the US Department Of Homeland Security's ability to detect threats through biometric information sharing.
MEP Breyer said that when asked exactly what data the US wanted to tap into, the answer was as much as possible. When asked what would happen at US borders if a traveler was known to the police in participating states, it was said that this would be decided by the US immigration officer on a case-by-case basis.
