The EU’s top justice official is planning on unveiling a new proposal concerning the collection of airline passenger data. Plans for the data collection include the storage of e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, payment details, and 16 other pieces of personal information to be stored for 13 years, as a part of the new EU-wide anti-terror drive. Modeled somewhat after the United States, the passenger data recording plan is an attempt to weed out high-risk persons, and terror attempts in EU members.
