This may help some of the recent posters asking about travel around Europe hoping to avoid the Visa requirements etc.

Don`t know if its been discussed before, but it seems all persons who have left/travelled from/too the USA and then use European airlines are being logged and monitored by the US authorities.

Like they say “Big Brothers a Watching”.

This may only apply to Europeans travelling to the US, but since the US are being given data by the Spanish, one could assume that the Spanish have access to US citizens entering into Spain illegally.

Ireland and Uk are to ask airline for there Comuster Infor this sept on

Big brothers not coming, its basically already in place.

Now they just need to slowly disapate rights.

I`d like to say getting into Spain did away with that, but found when the Spanish Authorities do get there systems right, there far more intrusive than most other EU countries.
