From now on all movements in and out of UK will be logged.

As well as travel Destination and length of stay abroad, Method of payment for tickets will be stored (eg credit card, cash etc), phone number, email etc.

I'm surprised nobody here has picked up on this before.

I thought they had done this for years anyway. They are such nosy fuckers.

regarding get out of HMP England while you can: or stay and fight, not all of us want to drop out and cop out.

I think people have, I'm fairly sure I've read about this here before...

"Raytheon Systems Limited, Serco, Accenture, Detica, QinetiQ, Steria, and Capgemini, in a consortium called 'Trusted Borders."

Scroll down to section headed 'Hardware' - (Raytheon are also mentioned in this article)
 http://www.indopedia.org/ECHELON.html
Extract:
"An article ( http://www.techworld.com/storage/news/index.cfm?NewsID=2430) by Chris Mellor tells that ECHELON is built by Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Zeta Associates. Margaret Newsham claims ( http://www.agitprop.org.au/stopnato/20000221echelbladn.htm) that she designed the software for the system at Lockheed Martin in Sunnyvale, California under the code name P415. The two main programs are called SILKWORTH and SIRE."

Report on the existence of a global system for the interception of private and commercial communications (ECHELON interception system (2001/2098(INI)
 http://www.statewatch.org/news/2001/sep/echelon.pdf
Same report from European Parliament website:
 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+REPORT+A5-2001-0264+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN

Extracts:
13.1: Conclusions:
"That a global system for intercepting communications exists, operating by means of cooperation proportionate to their capabilities among the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand under the UKUSA Agreement, is no longer in doubt. It may be assumed, in view of the evidence and the consistent pattern of statements from a very wide range of individuals and organisations, including American sources, that the system or parts of it were, at least for some time, code-named ECHELON. What is important is that its purpose is to intercept private and commercial communications, and not military communications."

5.3.2.1: "In the early 1970s the Yakima station was established in the north-western USA and in 1972/73 the Morwenstow station was built in southern England. At that time, Yakima had one large antenna (trained towards the Pacific) and Morwenstow had two large antennae (one trained towards the Atlantic, the other towards the Indian Ocean). By virtue of the location of the two stations, all communications could be recorded."

5.3.2.2" Today, global satellite communications are provided by satellites operated by INTELSAT, INMARSAT and INTERSPUTNIK. The division of the earth into three footprints (Indian Ocean, Pacific and Atlantic areas), introduced when the first generations of satellites were sent into space, has been retained. In each of the footprints there are stations which meet the criteria which characterise them as interception stations:"

"This shows that the global interception of communications is feasible. In addition, there are further stations which, although they do not meet the criterion of antenna size, and although there is no other clear evidence underpinning the assumption, may still form part of the global interception system. These stations could be used to cover the zone or spot beams of satellites whose global beams are intercepted by other stations or for whose global beam no large satellite antennae are required."
