The Border computer
01.07.2009 20:21
I recently returned from being 2 weeks away.
I arrived at heathrow from a EU country.
At the border the guards were giving people a quick look at their passports and waving them through.
When I arrived at the border desk..the guard put my Passport in a machine ( I do NOT have a biometric passport ) At this point the guard's eyes opened wide as Stuff was coming up on the computer screen, The guard's eyes scrolling down the page .
As I was on the other side of the desk, I could not see the screen.
I was then ' allowed ' to enter UK.
Does anyone know what the border computer holds.
I know a few months back all passenger movements have been recorded.
But it seems there was more than just my travel itenery.
I've searched the internet high and low on this subject. Cant find a thing.!
Any Clues, any links ?
Big Joe
