New US papers ‘invasive’
The Irish Council of Civil Liberties (ICCL) said European countries, including Ireland, will have to carry citizens’ private information on high-security passports in order to get into the US.
On Monday the US announced that from October 26 people on visa-waiver programmes must carry new passports containing digital information identifying the holder by his or her unique biometric data, such as fingerprints, face recognition or iris patterns.
