Statewatch Analysis: Proposal for a Directive on the use of Passenger Name Record data
for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences and serious crime (pdf) by Maire Hynes:
"the proposal is part of a “step-by-step approach” which will see the systematic collection, retention and analysing of passenger’s data whether they fly from or to the EU and a third country (as per the proposal), or whether they fly internally within the EU (as per the UK’s proposed amendments to the proposal.) Alarmingly, plans for the surveillance of traveller’s do not stop there and the extension of this proposal to the use of PNR data of sea and rail travellers has not been completely ruled out."
