Millions of personal email and mobile phone records could be stored and shared with police and intelligence officials across Europe to help thwart terrorist attacks.
The Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, will propose new measures at an emergency meeting of European Union interior ministers which will discuss the implications of Thursday's London bombings. |

Body scan machines to be used on Tube passengers
By Ben Webster, Transport Correspondent
TUBE passengers are to have their bodies scanned by machines that see through clothing in an attempt to prevent further terrorist attacks. The millimetre wave imagers will be used to carry out random checks as people enter stations after services resume today.
Police and transport officials are also considering installing the equipment permanently at stations across the network. The technology is already used to catch illegal immigrants who hide in lorries at Channel ports but has not previously been used on the Underground because of the high cost and concerns about privacy. |

U.K. Wants Massive EU Monitoring of E-mails, Cell Phones
Newsmax | July 11, 2005
In the wake of the deadly London terrorist attacks, British Home Secretary Charles Clarke says millions of personal e-mail and mobile phone records could be stored and shared with police and intelligence officials across Europe to help thwart future attacks, according to an Observer report.
Clark claimed that such communications could "quite possibly" have helped prevent such attacks by identifying in advance suspicious patterns of behavior by potential terrorists.

Email spying 'could have stopped killers'
Clarke set to rush through emergency arrest powers
The British government's action is part of a wider EU initiative to have the continental collective spy on its citizens' emails and cell phone calls.
Meanwhile, according to the Observer report, the National Crime Squad has contacted Internet service providers in the U.K., appealing to them to preserve e-mail messages in case they prove useful to the manhunt for those responsible for last week's attacks.
Clarke's proposal for an EU-wide agreement would stop short of intrusion into the content of e-mails, but would require the storing of revealing "traffic data" - detailing who has called, or messaged whom, with times and locations - for several years.
"Terrorism today is by definition international: The more we can survey the way in which people operate, the way in which they make their phone calls, the better your chance of identifying patterns of behavior which are a threat," Clarke said.
Simon Davies, director of Privacy International, said some EU countries, including Germany, were likely to resist. "There are some celebrated cases where we know, for example, that traffic data and mobile location [have] been useful to the police," he said.
"But this is mass surveillance at its crudest. It would lead to 'information overload'," he said, stockpiling masses of useless information.
David Davis, the shadow home secretary and frontrunner to lead the Conservative Party, warned in an interview yesterday that civil liberties should not be sacrificed in the rush to defend Britain.
"The best defense of security is to have the liberties," he said. "The first act of the liberation fighter is to try to force the state to do repressive things, because when the state does repressive things it recruits your supporters. |

UK Police: Cameras May Help Track Bombers
Associated Press | July 11, 2005
By CATHERINE McALOON
LONDON - Closed-circuit TV cameras track people in the British capital almost everywhere they go. Now, those recordings could help police determine who staged Thursday's bloody subway and bus explosions.
More than 6,000 cameras monitor the Underground subway network and 1,800 watch the city's train stations. Cameras also have been installed on some London buses.
In addition, more people carry pocket-size digital cameras and camera cell phones, and footage taken inside subway cars had found its way to British TV by Thursday afternoon.
"Clearly we've had considerable success in the past using closed-circuit television footage to trace the movements of people involved" in various crimes, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick said after the attacks.
Screening the footage will be one of the first priorities for police, as important as securing forensic evidence from the scene, he said.
An estimated 4.2 million cameras — largely concentrated in London and other major cities — observe Britons as they go about their daily business, whether they're waiting for a bus, riding a train, lining up at a bank or parking a car in a public garage.
Britain turned to closed-circuit TV monitoring to deter and help solve terror attacks by the Irish Republican Army, after deadly IRA bombings in London in 1992 and 1993.
The cameras became more prevalent as technology became more affordable. Today, it is widely estimated that the average Briton is caught on various cameras up to 300 times on a normal day.
The ubiquitous security cameras have given Britain a reputation as a world leader in surveillance. They also have inspired criticism that the constant monitoring resembles the Orwellian concept of "Big Brother."
Some critics say the system is of limited use, because the monitoring screens at the command post aren't closely watched in real time. That means police rarely use the footage to stop a crime in progress but only for investigations afterward.
But screening the footage has become part of routine police operations — and with some success. Closed-circuit video helped resolve several high-profile investigations last year: a 12-year-old boy who robbed a store at gunpoint; the disappearance of a doctor; attacks by a serial rapist; a father and son hit by a train; a series of school laptop computer thefts; and a soccer riot. |
