"WASHINGTON — The United States and the European Union are nearing completion of an agreement allowing law enforcement and security agencies to obtain private information — like credit card transactions, travel histories and Internet browsing habits — about people on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

The potential agreement, as outlined in an internal report obtained by The New York Times, would represent a diplomatic breakthrough for American counterterrorism officials, who have clashed with the European Union over demands for personal data. Europe generally has more stringent laws restricting how governments and businesses can collect and transfer such information."

I don't want my personal data to be available to the US government! Especially given the fact that the US government doesn't want to give the same rights to EU citizens as Americans in regards to the data.

Europe doesn't care much about your rights either. European governments are just too happy to follow the tracks of Uncle Sam.
Renew your passport now before mandatory fingerprinting (for your own security of course).

looks like you guys are being 'democratized'

you'll be doing what my friends and family do: pay with cash, and not say 'certain things' on the phone.

seriously, not enough people care about their freedom anymore. they just want to feel safe and protected

It's a terrible shame really. Freedom should be one of everyone's top concerns.

It's a terrible shame really. Freedom should be one of everyone's top concerns.

Unfortunately people don't realise what they have until it has gone.

Especially in the UK the government is slowly eroding our civil liberties taking away much that people fought and died to achieve.

I guess soon we will be living in an Authoritarian State.

If you think about it, its pretty scary stuff.
