NO... they must hold a license, in fact 2. Secondly they can be fined or sent to prison for breaking these regulations. This has already happened. Plus if the government loses data what happened in the past, the person responsible has been paid off with full pension and benefits. So yes I trust a private company a lot more. In saying that, our data is out there, just look at junk mail, what banks hold about you etc. Malesh

Private firms are the worst to entrust your details with. What if a scrupulous staff was to steal the data and pass it on; do you think the firm will be made such loss puiblic like the governments recent debacles. It's plain wrong to collect any information about the travelling public. Finger printing should be a tool used by our consulates abroad to protect us from unwanted visitor gaining visas and entering our country.

Plans to fingerprint passengers at Heathrow's new Terminal 5 are being probed by the data protection watchdog http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7310158.stm Nick, I’m not 100% sure I would trust a private company or the government, but according to the BBC, it might not get off the ground.

To answer your question of which airport already id's passengers, it is Norwich, when you go pass security they photograph you. Then the private security company matches passengers to boarding pass. I would proberly trust a private company more than the goverment to keep my details safe. Darren,
