It would certainly be helpful to know what the Guarian means by information about sex lives. Thanks to my job, I have access to lots and lots of info about people seeking to travel to the US, and I've never once seen info referencing someone's sex life. Knowing the Guardian (and it's a paper I actually like), this really means either health info, including info re venereal disease and HIV, and/or info about registered sex offenders -- in other words, health and law enforcement info, which have long been part of travel permission inquiries.

Then you likely wouldn't like being a citizen of the EU, since apparently personal information is kept and shared.Originally posted by Agathon
Not really.
I dislike the fact that the government of the place I live would keep a file on me that I cannot see.
I further dislike that they would share this information with some other government. Some of this is no doubt census information, and who knows whether it might include private medical records.
I also dislike the idea that I should have to answer personal questions like that merely to enter a country. It is absolutely none of their business whether I am a foot fetishist or S&M freak (I'm neither). It's also none of their business who I voted for.
I have no problem with US immigration taking my fingerprint or scanning my retina, because, as was explained to me, it is used to tie me to the passport I was using, to stop someone else using it if it were stolen. Some of this other stuff is out of order.
What's the difference if it is shared between France and Poland or France and the US?
Or, as an American if it is shared between Oregon and Nevada, or Oregon and Britain?(\__/)

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
