The EU and the US have agreed a deal on sharing data on all airline passengers crossing the Atlantic as part of the fight against terrorism.

It means that most personal details given at check-in will be sent to the US as soon as passengers leave Europe.

The deal ends months of talks and comes despite protests over loss of privacy from the European parliament.

In a compromise move, the US is allowed to keep the data for 3.5 years but restrictions govern who can see it.

The details will include a wide range of information, such as addresses, date of birth, credit card numbers, how many people are travelling together and how many bags they are carrying.

i.e. TIA now links EU. Oh yeah, we will mind your data carefully.
