The Lib Dems say they will cancel them, whilst the USA says you (will eventually) need one to travel there

Am i reading this wrong or would it not mean that American Hols and/or business trips would be fucked

i'm dead against them.i understand why theyanks want the info,but i dont trust anybody with this stuff.mainly because its not safe.i wouldnt trust our lot with this much info about me,less so the fbi,cia,hmeland security or anyone else.i'd quite like to holiday in the usa,but for last 5-ish years,have not even considered it.i am starting to soften as the years go on.

It means the British will have to have visas with biometric information on them to enter the USA.

(I think.)
