From the Telegraph the travel plans and personal details of every holidaymaker, business traveller and day-tripper who leaves Britain are to be tracked by the Government, Anyone departing the UK by land, sea or air will have their trip recorded and stored on a database for a decade.
Passengers leaving every international sea port, station or airport will have to supply detailed personal information as well as their travel plans. So-called "booze crusiers" who cross the Channel for a couple of hours to stock up on wine, beer and cigarettes will be subject to the rules.
This “1984” style invasion of our privacy will also include weekend sailors and sea fishermen, the owners of light aircraft, even swimmers attempting to cross the Channel and their support teams will be subject to the rules which will require the provision of travellers' personal information such as passport and credit card details, home and email addresses and exact travel plans.
The “E-Borders” new checks are being introduced piecemeal by the UK Border Agency. By the end of the year 60 per cent of journeys made out of Britain will be affected with 95 per cent of people leaving the country being subject to the plans by the end 2010.

Yachtsmen, leisure boaters, trawlermen and private pilots will be given until 2014 to comply with the programme.
They will be expected to use the internet to send their details each time they leave the country and would face a fine of up to £5,000 should they fail to do so.
Similar penalties will be enforced on airlines, train and ship operators if they fail to provide details of every passenger to the UK Border Agency.
Gwyn Prosser, Labour MP for Dover and a member of the all-party Home Affairs Select Committee, said: "I think e-borders are absolutely necessary," he said. "Governments of all complexions have always been criticised for not knowing who is in the country. This is a very sophisticated way of counting people in and out."
So Prosser the tosser thinks it’s a”very sophisticated way of counting people in and out” does he, couple of small snags there Gwyn:
The Gov has no idea how many people are here illegaly, and they are not going to “fill out your form”.
The Gov can’t even stop the illegal immigrants now.
What if you don’t have acces to the internet or no email address?
The history of Gov data security is abysmal at best, they manage to lose our details on a daily basis.
How are they going to check every, boat, plane, ferry and train for people who haven’t complied, will there be “security” at every port, railway station, small cove, large and small airport and ferry port to interrogate each passenger?
It seems that the Police State is expanding in our green and pleasant land, what next?
Will we have to fill out a travel plan every time we go to the shops to see if we are spending too much on credit?
Or submit a “fight plan” if we want to fly from London to Birmingham?
The last point is of course, who can afford to fly to far and distant places now that the Government has totally destroyed the economy and millions of peoples’ lives?
