    Just say you've got one.

      Or say that you're an illegal immigrant so you don't need one.

        In my experience they will scan your passport on the way out, and on the way in, so obviously that information is being stored somewhere.
        OK, it was Eurotunnel not Eurostar. How was I to know? I didn't make the booking, just tagged along at the last minute (which was the point of the thread really).

        A "Giant Travel Database" would be sizeist, but a "giant travel database" wouldn't be. I think.

        Aha, I think you might be onto something there.

          Person table, journey table, location table.

          They will spend millions on this.

          I love new labour.

            Aha, I get it.

            We are all terrorists, in the eyes of the government.

            Now, everything begins to make sense.
            Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
