Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
LONDON, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- British police said the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation wants Britain to join a new database that could track millions of criminals and suspects.
The so-called "Server in the Sky" would include biometric measurements, irises or palm prints as well as fingerprints, and other personal information, Britain's Guardian newspaper said Tuesday.
"Server in the Sky is an FBI initiative designed to foster the advanced search and exchange of biometric
information on a global scale," the FBI told the Guardian. "While it is currently in the concept and
design stages, once complete it will provide a technical forum for member nations to submit biometric search requests to other nations."
Britain's National Policing Improvement Agency said it was aware of Server in the Sky but said it was "too early to comment on what our active participation might be," the newspaper said.
