Could care less about that but more about who is getting my confidential information and why
You mean your name, DOB, where you live and passport #?
This is what is required to enter
any country.
So... for what purpose? Hmmmmmm
Maybe to screen for criminals, terrorists and those fucking refugees and immigrants that, IIRC, you and your 'conservative' rail against.
Seems the EU is trying to pre-load some of the Immigration workload onto computers
before the traveller arrives at Customs, Seems like a good idea to help reduce line ups etc. And helps the traveller in learning whether they are inadmissible before showing up and being turned around.
