This includes all – including professional – phone numbers and email addresses used in the past five or ten years, names and phone numbers of close family members, as well as their birth dates and places. Biometric data is also included.

    Sounds like an great idea. Maybe this will help at least some of the European idiots who still feel the need to visit the US, to refrain from doing so.
