US 'licence to snoop' on British air travellers
By David Millward, Transport Correspondent

Britons flying to America could have their credit card and email accounts inspected by the United States authorities following a deal struck by Brussels and Washington.

By using a credit card to book a flight, passengers face having other transactions on the card inspected by the American authorities. Providing an email address to an airline could also lead to scrutiny of other messages sent or received on that account.

seems a little extreme but America seems to be in survivalist mode since 911, the country is becoming isolationist. Where you have the right to ask for information this seems a step to far and will only hurt your economy especially somewhere like Florida which has a large toursit based economy:|.

Waht you mean $2 to £1 wont be long before it's $3:P:D
