FBI wants instant access to British identity data

www.guardian.co.uk

The US-initiated programme, "Server in the Sky", would take cooperation between the police forces way beyond the current faxing of fingerprints across the Atlantic. Allies in the "war against terror" - the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand - have formed a working group, the International Information Consortium, to plan their strategy.

Biometric measurements, irises or palm prints as well as fingerprints, and other personal information are likely to be exchanged across the network. One section will feature the world's most wanted suspects. The database could hold details of millions of criminals and suspects.

What does all this mean?? "Server in the Sky", all these countries sharing that information about it's citizens with one another? I don't know what this means, but many fear a "one world government". Is this a step towards that, or what does everyone else thing??

Actually I think you meant "Echelon". Echelon is used for SIG-INT, the collection and analyzing of global communication traffic & signal intelligence. This article is referring to something different, specifically a biometrics database that could be shared amongst many nations. Not saying I agree with it, but there is a poignant distinction here.

i dont agree with this either it dosent take much to become a suspect even if only for a short period of time after which your released and told " nope your story checks out , my bad" and next thing you know some intel agent around the globe has access to your file.

I cant wait see this one world government... as long as it is a peaceful and fair one
